Reopened for updates. The transmission went out on my 02 Trailblazer last night for the second time.

As the 4L60E ages, one of the most common problems that it develops is that it won’t shift into overdrive anymore. Without overdrive, your vehicle turns into a time machine and takes you back to an era where it was the norm for a vehicle to scream down the highway at 3000 RPM.

Why does my Chevy Trailblazer feel like it is racing?

Look at the tachometer the next time this happens to determine if the engine is indeed racing. If it is at approx. 800 to 1000 rpm, this is normal. If you start to drive off while this is happening, it will FEEL like you are in a higher gear than first gear, but you are not. Let the dealer mechanic know this. Good luck let us know what happens.

Why does my Chevy Trailblazer make a loud noise?

This loud noise can be confused with high rpm’s, but the engine is not racing fast. It usually takes about a minute or two for the fan to shut off and then everything is normal. One or two have posted that when the fan is on, the power is reduced but this may be a different problem.
