A quasilinear singularly perturbed boundary value problem whose solution has a shock layer is investigated. Estimates of the derivatives of the solution are derived. Based on these estimates, a new independent variable is introduced. Then the transformed problem is solved numerically using finite - difference schemes. The transformation corresponds to solving the original problem on a mesh which is dense in the layer. The linear convergence uniform in the perturbation parameter is proved in the discrete L1 norm. Numerical results show uniform pointwise convergence too.
