97' blazer, what are the steps to fix my transmission.

I bought a used car with a transmission that slips, but I don't want to send it to the shop. I would like to give it a try in fixing myself. What lifting methods for taking off the transmission apart. Can I use a regular jack to lift the car or is it something that I have lift a couple of feet of the ground.

I am thinking of buying a used 4l60e transmission 2wd w/ 30k from a 02' blazer s10 jimmy. If I swap them, will it fit into my 97' blazer 2wd?

It may not work.
Wiring and solenoids and valve body may be different.
Best to check the salvage yard interchange.
If you have or rent a good transmission jack you cand do it.
Best to raise front and rear end of truck and put some jack stands under it for saftey.
MT.

what is the total weight of the 4L60E transmission?

thanks for all your help i was able to rebuild my own transmission. it was a big hassle and i would not do it again. Great learning experience. Swaping transmissions is 10 times much easier.

Glad you got it fixed.
But just swaping out is not as much fun.:lol2:
