My 2000 chevy blazer has a hard time shifting between 1st and 2nd. It shifts at high rpms and sometimes i have to let of the gas to get it to shift. Just changed the tps sensor cause we thought that was the problem. Does the vehicle have to be reset after that? or does that just rule out the tps......

Transmissions have "synchros" that adjust the speed when shifting from one gear to the next, because the engine's RPMs, while correct for, say, 1st gear, are too high to shift to 2nd gear.
If you're really careful, and an expert driver, you can shift a manual transmission from one gear to the next without using the clutch at all.
However, you seem to have a transmission problem with the 1-2 synchros.
TPS SENSOR. IT CONTROLS SHIFTING AT THE RIGHT TIME AND COULD ALSO CAUSE ALL OF THE SYNMTHOMS THAT YOU HAVE LISTED SOMETIMES WITH OUT GIVING YOU A CODE GOOD LUCK
Check the oil if you haven't already. If that makes no difference, change the tranny oil and filter. It can make a world of difference. Another thing it could be is your fuel filter. The engine is starving for gas, and can't shift properly.
