2002 Trailblazer Transmission issues
Hello Everyone..
I have owned my Trailblazer 4x4 LTZ 4.2L since August of 2002 when it was new. Now to the issue at hand.
At about 75K miles, the transmission went out. It started making all kinds of noise in reverse and when after shifting into 2nd gear. It was rebuilt by a reputable shop and everything has been fine since then until this morning.
I now have just over 100K miles on it and after putting it into reverse this morning I heard those same noises from the transmission once again. I put it in Drive and drove about 200 feet and upon shifting into 2nd it started making the same noises. The noise is similar to a playing car stuck in the spokes of a bicycle.
I looked online and found some used low milage transmissions in my area. My question is whether a transmission from an 05 Trailblazer will work in my 02.
Thanks for the help in advance.

It does sound like the sun shell is stripped out again. This part is used for reverse,2nd and 4th. I don't know if I would go with another used trans to have the same problem in due time. I would have it redone but use a beast sunshell this time around. I do use these in all of our rebuilts and is a good upgrade. Feel free to contact us if you are interested. Thank you for your time, Vince.
