I just traded for a nice '99 blazer. The "CHECK ENGINE" light is burning.
I had it checked this afternoon at an auto parts store. The guy said the
insturment indicated transmission ? But, that his reader wouldn't read any
more about it.
And, that I'd have to have it checked with a smarter reader.......... like
at a dealer.

Anyone care to suggest what I may be in for ??

I've noticed a harsh 1-2 shift ..... under slight touque.

Have you checked ATF level, color and smell?

Just checked the ATF in the Blazer.
It's not as clean, and don't smell as good as it could but doesn't smell
burned.
I also noticed it's overfilled :-(

So ........ I'll get the fluid and filter changed. I'd already planned to
have it changed, since I don't know the history of the vehicle.

Thanks for replies

OK. I had the transmission serviced. The valve body was reamed and a new
valve installed.
New filter and fluid and now the tranny seems .
The cost for the job, including new parts, fluid, filter and labor was
$250.00
