So I was driving my brother to school today, and my 94 Blazer was running just fine. When I left the school the engine would keep revving up to high rpms in 1st and not shift when it was supposed to. It would stay in 1st for a bit longer than it should, and then kick back and go to 2nd. It then did the same thing slipping into 3rd. Last week I replaced the fluid in the AT transmission. I checked it again and the fluid looks fine and at the right level. My dad told me the transmission filter should be changed and if not done soon enough, the problem only gets worse.

I go to do that and find you have to remove the cross member, jack up the transmission in the back( it also looks like I have to unbolt the tranny), and remove the exhaust pipe that is in front of the pan. This is a ridiculous amount of work, and can't be done without making any damages. I don't own all of the tools to do it either.

Anybody have an idea on how much this would cost at a shop?
