93 YJ auto transmission quandary

93 YJ auto tranny.

Changed fluid and filter. Shop said that there were no bands on the model
that I have (32RH ).

Transmission is still slipping when accelerated hard.

Do I:

1) have current transmission re-built?

2) have a already re-built unit tranny put in?

3) upgrade?

I will be getting a bonus check next week (not sure how much) and might have
a few extra greenbacks to throw around.....

Re: 93 YJ auto transmission quandary

If you are not pretty familiar with this sort of thing, I highly
recommend that you have someone else perform the work. Do NOT shop
for the "cheap" deal or you will be sorry. Look for a warranty that
covers BOTH parts and labor. I would be tempted to take it to a Jeep
dealer if yours is reputable, they will be most likely to stand behind
the warranty.

Don't forget, after you get it replaced you need to service it on
regular basis. Always use the "Severe Service" maintenance intervals
in your manual!

Good Luck, Bruce

Paul,

You need to find a qualified "shop" to work on your Jeep that has some
interest other than just draining your wallet.

The band adjustment procedure for a '93 32rh transmission is listed below.

FWIW: DC recommends that ATF+4 be used as the transmission fluid in place of
the factory Dexron fluid. DC also advises that most transmission problems
are related to improper or contaminated fluid

If your "shop" used anything except ATF+4 you might ask them why when you go
to collect the refund they owe you...... after all they did not complete the
service you paid for (and lied to you to boot!) and you now need to have a
qualified shop repair their "repair".

ADJUSTMENTS

NOTE: Bands on the AW-4 transmission are not adjustable. If slippage occurs,
bands must be replaced.

KICKDOWN (FRONT) BAND

32RH

1) Locate kickdown band adjusting screw on left side of case

(near throttle lever shaft). See Fig. 1. Loosen adjusting screw lock

nut and back off 4-5 turns. Ensure adjusting screw turns freely in

case.

2) Tighten adjusting screw to 72 INCH lbs. (8 N.m). If

Adapter Extension (J-24063) is used, tighten adjusting screw to 50

INCH lbs. (5 N.m). Back off adjusting screw 2 1/2 turns. Hold

adjusting screw and tighten lock nut to 30 ft. lbs. (41 N.m).

LOW-REVERSE (REAR) BAND (TYPICAL)

32RH

1) Raise and support vehicle. Drain transmission fluid and remove oil pan.
Locate low-reverse band adjusting screw on rear servo lever. See Fig. 2.
Loosen adjusting screw lock nut. Back off lock nut 5-6 turns.

2) Tighten adjusting screw to 72 INCH lbs. (8 N.m). Back off adjusting screw
4 turns. Hold adjusting screw and tighten lock nut to 25 ft. lbs. (34 N.m).
Install oil pan and fill transmission with fluid.

Good Luck and welcome,

Re: 93 YJ auto transmission quandary

I am not a lawyer (didn't like the eternity in Hell clause) but in a case
like this if you want satisfaction the "most reasonable" thing to do is to
offer to let the shop make things right. You go back there and tell them
that the transmission has bands, that you want adjusted. If you don't give
them a chance to make things right, then you have less leverage for asking
for a refund. Sure they have no business being in business if they are
idiots, but anyone can make a mistake.

As far as the fluid type is concerned, if DC is now recommending a fluid,
that is different and much more expensive than the factory fluid, then the
shop owner has a right to question whether this is reasonable, and to impose
an added charge when the customer wants it. Lots of the chains have small
print that says which fluid they are willing to include in their standard
service charge.

If you let bands slip for too long then they get glazed or worn to the point
where replacement is indeed necessary.
