So here's another question...

1. Where can I take my wife's '99 blazer to find out what's wrong?

2. Is it worth even looking?

I was backing into the driveway and I felt a big thump. After that it just made a spinning sound but not move-ey.

On a positive note, it still goes forward...

1. Into the woods with a couple gallons of gas and a match.

2. Not after you execute No. 1

So, does $6000 sound like a reasonable ballpark for a tranny rebuild?

OMG!
no way!
you could get a used one w/ less miles for the recycle yards for prolly around $500.

and unless you plan on towing large loads (which, its a blazer, so the engine couldn't hang) then go w/ a scrapyard piece.

no tranny is worth that much, unless its for a crazy tow vehicle.
