How far has your auto tranny gone? - 3/9/2007 2:32:11 PM    pilgrim Posts: 192 Joined: 1/5/2006 Status: offline The automatic tranny in our '97 Blazer self-destructed at 110K miles, but I suspect it suffered from lack of fluid changes before we got it (sludge in the crankcase was evidence of maintenance lacking). That vehicle is gone - replaced with a '99 Cherokee. Our '99 Blazer has 118K miles on it and has had regular tranny power flushes. I'm wondering what I can expect for longevity. How far have YOU gone without needing to rebuild the automatic tranny in your Blazer? < Message edited by pilgrim -- 3/9/2007 4:05:22 PM > _____________________________ ************* 99 4WD Blazer, auto. 99 Jeep Cherokee Sport, auto.

RE: How far has your auto tranny gone? - 3/10/2007 8:04:21 PM    blazinwoody Posts: 36 Joined: 1/5/2007 Status: offline I got about 120,000 miles on my 99 blazer right now. It probably needed a tranny rebuilt about 10,000 miles ago.  I'm going to make it last since I've only driven it for about 2,000 miles. I put the revised TCC in just to help it last longer. 4L60E are one of the top ten most rebuilt transmission. yikes! (in reply to m00nwater) Post #: 5

RE: How far has your auto tranny gone? - 3/12/2007 7:04:25 PM    Gonzo7   Posts: 26 Joined: 9/20/2006 Status: offline 116k so far. I had a little scare at 105k when I noticed a leak and I couldn't get reverse, but as soon as I drained the fluid and changed the filter it was all better. I'm not so sure about the flush thing...especially after 100k. I heard too many horror stories regarding failing trannies after a major flush. Or you can always talk about my good friend at work with a 98' that has needed three rebuilds so far. (86k) He got a used lemon of the lot and won't admit his mistake, so he'll just keep thowing money at it. (in reply to vagnozzi) Post #: 10
