Today the Trailblazer was being driven at about 30 mph, it made a loud clunk, then the engine revved really high. Obviously the transmission slipped out of gear. It then would not go forward in Drive, or 3rd. It will move, however in Reverse, 1st, or 2nd. Any ideas what part in the trans would cause this? Just a note, this will be the 4th transmission in this thing in 110,000 miles. It does nothing put pull 2 four wheelers maybe 3 times a year, and just city or highway driving. Not abused, not driven hard, its my mom's vehicle. Any help?

Here are some more details: My parents have owned it since new. It was one of the first Trailblazers ever produced. They got it right at the beginning of 2002. My dad used it for business, driving highway miles to architectural job sites (there's where high miles came from) He got a new car 1 year ago so since then my mom has driven it. Its been regularly maintained, no abuse whatsoever. First trans failed at 36,020 miles. GM has paid for all work so far since its all been documented and done at the Chevy dealer.

The transmission has failed internally. I would suggest after going through 4 transmissions to get rid of the vehicle. Its obviously not worth repairing since it has gone through now 4 tranny's. I had an 89 Mazda B2600i with over 219,000 miles on it with the original transmission and it still ran and drove strong when I sold it, and I took it 4 Wheeling all the time. So something is definitly wrong with the transmissions going into your trailblazer. I would suggest if you want to have it fixed take it to amaco transmission or cottmans, either one will do an excellent job of replacing or repairing the transmission for you and offer a warranty.

Hard to believe this is the 4th trans. My daughter has one that has over 100,000 miles with no problems. Do you check the oil level on a regualr basis as well as service it once in while? Is the oil level properly checked? Do you set the brake when parked? Or let the trans. be the brake?

Maybe the linkage slipped? needs adjustment?
I would really hate to think that Chevy is putting out junk trannys.
