I have a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer and when it gets in high gear it keeps shifting down like it is locking or something. We have had it in shop for 5 weeks and thermostat and coolent sensor have been re

We have determined this is not a Transmission issue. We recently had the resignator taken off the muffler because it was cracked but that and the replacement of thermostat and coolent sensor is all we have tried.

I am afraid you have mis-diagnosed it NOT being the Transmission or I should say Torque Converter, TCC Solenoid. I would strongly recommend that you replace the TCC Solenoid in the 4L60E Transmission. Then see what happens. If you drive it with the TORQUE CONVERTER Button in the OFF Position on the Shifter, does it fix the problem?

Bring to tranny shop or repair shop, have it scanned for trouble codes, many electrical parts and solonoids in those trannys, possible it may just be a shift solonoid bad or needs adjustment, much cheaper than replacing tranny. good luck!

SOURCE: Code Reader reads Shifter Solenoid Stuck or Off

The Shift solenoids are located in the transmission oil pan. I would recommend replacing both shift solenoids while you're in there. Also replace the filter and pan gasket. The shift solenoids are located towards the rear of the valvebody and will be identical to each other. They are held in place by a retaining clip which is easily removed with a small screwdriver or similar tool. Care must be taken as parts may fly out of the bore when the solenoids are removed. Hope this helps.

Check the linkage at the transmission. Have somebody move the selector while you watch the linkage move. It might be out of adjustment for reverse, or be binding up.

SOURCE: 1997 Chevy 1500 P/U 4x4 small V8. Transmission shifting issue.

you may be confusing the torque converter clutch engagement with o.d. this trans has a problem with the T.C.C. regulator valve wearing out the valve body bore. this will cause the converter clutch to engage only sometimes or not at all. this will set a P1870 code in the control module. when this code is stored in the controller, ( check engine light may or may not be on), it increases the pressure in the transmission causing the 1-2 shift to be harsh. ask a local tranny shop to scan the vehicle ( most will do this for free) if this is the problem they can either fix your valve body (sonnax parts) or replace it with an upgraded valve body. hope this helps

Keys are locked in the ingnitition and wont start

To remove your key: look at the plastic shield underneath the locking cylinder. There will either be a hole there OR an outline of a hole there. You can stick something thin in there, then turn your key out. IF there is no hole, just look for the outline of where the hole should of been. Just drill it out, be careful as the plastic is thin.

2004 Chevy trailblazer won't shift out of first

Have you checked transmission fluid recently. If the levels are low and/or if the dipstick smells burnt, there is a good chance your transmission is shot. Check it out & let me know; may have another idea if the fluid level checks out.

2004 Chevy Trailblazer Gear Shifter Moves But Will NOT shift into gear ..Came home from shopping put her in park.. Then couple hours later cranked up to go again, shifter moves loosely... The car is in...

The end of the shift cable has broken, there is a plastic ring at the transmission end of the cable that breaks. You will need to have it towed to the mechanic.

They say the transmission is shot. I am not convinced.

I have a hard time believing the tranny is shot after only 55,000 miles. Get it up on jacks and start it with you under the car and someone else shifting. The linkage could be completely out of adjustment. (The speedo thing is strange though.)

If the linkage appears to be the problem, and is sloppy and loose, there you are. But if not, you may need to rebuild it. But I would get a second opinion from a well known smaller shop where the owner works there and is known for honesty.
