Is it possible to change my character's class without losing my items and progression?

if you mean, create another character and have all your items and progression transfered, no, you can transfer items between characters with the clap trap stash at sanctuary tho

You can use gibbed save editor.

save editors, nexusmods has a few

create a new character, download gibbed bordewrlands 2 editor, open the character save you want, change the class, overwrite the nwly created character upon saving (just in case you want to keep your old one, otherwise overwrite your old character)

You cannot change your character's class. Axton is always the Commando, Maya the Siren, Salvador the Gunzerker, Zero a number, Gaige a Mechromancer, and Kreig the Psycho. You can have multiple of each if you want.

Using Claptrap's Secret Stash (in Sanctuary), you can transfer gear between characters. Doesn't change the weapon's level, and mods are class specific.

If you mean your skill tree, that has no affect on your gear. Though remember mods tend to give bonuses to specific skills, so if you re-spec your skill tree check to see if you might want to swap out your mod.

Do i need to create a new character or does it also work for my already created characters?

Creating a new character starts at the beginning of the game. They cannot start at exactly the point a current character is at.

Character's Class is always the same. Axton is Commando Class, Maya is Siren, etc. You are playing a themed character.

Each character has 3 skill trees that you can respec as needed. This doesn't change the gear you have. Many mods give points to specific skills so may need to change out to match your new spec.

However, Badass Ranks you have gained over time do apply to all your characters so does give them all a boost. So leveling the next character will be quicker if you have set a lot of those bonuses.

Once you reach Sanctuary you have access to Claptrap's Secret Stash so you can transfer weapons, grenades, mods (these are class specific), and shields between characters. Remember character has to be able to use the weapons level-wise as your level 15 character cannot use your level 50 legendary.
