Thinking about replacing tranny fluid and filter.

Well my blazer just hit 120k miles, and im thinking its about time to do a tranny fluid replace and a filter. I dont know if its ever been changed judging by the factory spark plugs still being in there its not very promising. So i know i need the filter, fluid, and a pan gasket. Ive already had one tranny decide to quit on me, due to unknown reason till i pop it apart (from another truck). Just some questions how much fluid does a 89 4x4 4.3 need, its a 700r4 trans. And also ive heard that replacing fluid after a certain amount of miles can hurt the tranny. Im pretty sure its a myth, but just double checking i dont need another trashed trans. Also is there anything else i need for the oil replacement.

Don't ever look at cars as just imports or domestics. Just because a car is made in a certain country doesn't mean that it is anything like another car from that country. An example of this is Mitsubishi reliability, just because they are Japanese doesn't mean that they are as reliable as a Honda or Toyota.

Re: Thinking about replacing tranny fluid and filter.

Should take about 4.5 to 5 quarts. The exhaust crossover will give you fits: you'll have to loosen the the "Y" pipe at the manifolds. With 120k, as long as you don't have the transmission flushed, it should be ok.
