I have a 1995 Blazer and last night i was driving and it acted like i shifted into neutral... it will be fine till about 25-30 mph then acts the same way? i have 2nd gear though and it wors fine??

It sounds like when you accelerate it downshifts and acts like it is in neutral, when you let off, it shifts back to coast like it is in drive. I would question shift solenoid first. I know this is what 1-2 shift solenoid can act like if you have no low 1 and starts in low 2 or 2nd. There are two solenoids, 1-2nd and 2-3rd. You can drop pan and change them easy.

1) How's your fluid level?

2) When did you last replace your filter?

3) When it shifted, did it go trough all the gears as you accelerate or did it just stay on one gear and never shifted?

4) How's reverse, does it slip out too after 2 - 3 min?

5) As you first able to shift into gear, you can drive it for 2 to 3 mintues and it just suddenly slip out of gear?


.... could be a number of different things. Maybe even burnt out clutche(s) inside your transmission

When was the last time the transmission fluid and filter changed? I would have that serviced first. If it is an electronic transmission, the line pressure might also have to be reset.

It may be your transmission. It is not the cable. I dont know if a shift link would be broke or not. It dont act up any in reverse, 1, 2?

Ya sounds like the electric shift solenoid. Problem with electrical. Will not give you a warning. Will go bad in a heartbeat. You can try unhooking plug that gos into the trans and spray electrical cleaner on it. plug back in. Wiggle some wires and maybe find one loose or broken wire or connection and hope for the best. But its probably the tranny with that many miles. Go to Advance Auto Parts they usually scan your car for free for codes. Good luck

Drive forward, put it in neutral, the into reverse. If you have not used the 4wd for awhile it will need vacuum to activate and disengage

What does it do when it gets to 3rd? acts like neutral or just doesn't shift?

shift linkage needs adjusting,,could be bent, easy fix, located along firewall to fram beneath the column, ask your son wut he ran over and didnt tell u about... hope i could help...:)

Solenoids usually set a code that can be checked with a code reader.
Make sure that the oil in your transmission is full and clean...solenoids can get gummed up by varnish if trans is not serviced properly.

car out of cruise control flutters or runs rough from 45 mph to 55 mph and once over 55 mph runs smooth. I notice from 45 to 55 the rpm guage moves with flutter or rough running engine. when i put in cruise control it smooths out.
