Hello,

I guess I have been running my 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sport 4X4 too hard.
I fried the transmission. Anyone know how much it costs to get it
replaced/fixed? I live in the Boston, MA area. Anyone know of a cheap
honest mechanic?

 

What did you do to the tranny? Fill it with water?

It is unusual to hear about them trashed....

I'm not sure what happened. It started happening during this winter in
Northern New Hampshire. On colder days it slipped more and more and
eventually quit. I checked the fluid level and it was fine. I even
had the fluid replaced and it continued to get worse. I drove it much
in 4 wheel drive mode to help me in the snow. It's not the transfer
case though, but the main transmission. Any ideas?
