LOL reminds my best friend had a ‘98 Blazer I believe with the 4.3 vortech and he was skipping school and did a neutral drop and next thing you know his transmission lost all of its fluid!!
Luckily another guy knew little bit about cars so parents never found out and all was well!!😂

The 10 speed is a lot quicker for sure.
But also a lot less reliable.

The mechanic is now saying Monday for the car to be done.
Hasn't mentioned anything about finding any other issues/damage, I hope it's not because he hasn't even opened it up yet.
