98 Blazer Transmission trouble

[staylor]

Hi-there female needing advice. I have a 98 Blazer LT. Have a the same problem occur 3 times. Car was smoking from front end-looked under hood and the transmission overflow valve (hope that's what it's called) had apparently backed up and shot fluid out of it. My hubby dropped the pan changed fluid-it looked pink-no shavings and put on a new gasket and refilled transmission. This was in May of last years-no troubles til day after Christmas same thing again. Took it to a shop-they drove it an hour-shifts perfect-no problems. recommended a flush of the system-and putting an oil cooler on it. They did cost $250-not bad. Problem is it did same thing again yesterday. Car runs perfectly shift great-but now wants to spit fluid from the overflow valve-not sure whther to trust the people that worked on it before. they did put the oil cooler on it-but broke some front end clips and misaligned lights in process. Any suggestions my hubby might could look at?

Take a look at the transfer case and see if it is overfull and check the trans fluid level.
Is the trans overflow valve you are refering to the dipstick tube where you put in trans fluid in the trans or a vent valve someplace under the hood?
If it is a vent valve trace it back down and see if it go to transfer case or the trans.
Does the trans dip stick have a red flipper top on it or just a regular top?
