On the autos the transmission dipstick tube is the vent tube.

Re: HELP! 97 TJ Transmission Problem!
What c said about doing a second flush and drain in a few days. I've had
a cetain amount of luck rejuvinating trannys (and engines) by a couple of quick drain and refill cycles.

Re: HELP! 97 TJ Transmission Problem!
ok so I changed the fluid and then it drove, but it wasn't perfect, so
i went to the shop and got a transmission flush (100% fluid exchange, or so they said). Now it drives but its a little hard to accelerate from a stop and sometimes it wont shift until 3000 RPM. I think my next step is to bring it in. Suggestions? |
