I have a 2000 chevy blazer 4x4, I want to change the transmission fluid. How do I drain the old transmission fluid?How do you change the transmission fluid in a 2000 chevy blazer?
There is only one way to change all of the transmission fluid in any vehicle, and that is a transmission flush. Most flush machines either use the transmissions own fluid pump to provide the pressure to flush the unit.
The alternative is to remove the transmission pan, clean everything (go ahead and replace the transmission filter while you are in there) then reassemble and add fluid.
The problem with a pan drop is that you only really replace about 3-4 quarts of the 8-10 quarts in your transmission. The other 5-6 quarts of fluid are in you torque converter, valve body and lines and cannot be drained out without extensive disassembly. That being said, replacing the 3-4 quarts is better then nothing.
Keep in mind that a transmission filter replacement is usually a maintenance item, and not considered a repair. You don't replace the filter to fix a transmission that is not shifting or is not working (though sometimes it can restore functionality, usually having starved the transmission of fluid due to a clogged filter will cause irreparable damage)

Why do you want to do that? I have had the same tranny fluid in my S-10 since i bought it in 95 and its still full and bright red. You really shouldn't need to change it.How do you change the transmission fluid in a 2000 chevy blazer?
It should not be changed (advice from my friend)
