Diagnosing a transmission issue
'92 K1500. Automatic transmission.
The past two weeks, harder to get into 3rd. Finally yesterday it refuses to go. Engine keeps revving in 2nd and gear doesn't shift.
I suspect that I need to rebuild the transmission, but is there something I should rule out first, before going to that trouble?

Pull the tranny dipstick. If that 3rd clutch is fried, the oil will be brown and have a "clutchy" smell to it.
If the oil is nice, pink and does not stink, think back when was the last time you changed the fuel filter?

I believe I had the fuel filter changed a couple years back.
