Any Tranny False Alarms? or All Bad?
'96 Jeep Grand Cherokee Loredo with 126K miles. At 110K Miles it
receive a major tranny repair. I'm in NYC & with cold weather...it taks
FOREVER for this car to warm up. If trying to drive without sufficient
warm up...the car will not move forward w/accelerated depressed when in
Drive or 2nd or 1st gear.
Car sat overnight in the teens (weather-wise) and this morning....after
15 minutes of warm up...ran very very very rough (transmission
wise...not engine). Car basically came to a crawl...and soon....no
forward motion (while in DRIVE)....and accelerating. It was about 28
degrees. Plates are spinning, teeth not catching...it seems.
Is there a common tranny adjustment that I might be due for?....are
there things that happen that seem like a new tranny is due....when in
reality it's a "X" adjustment/replacement? Perhaps something w/the
plates, cables, etc....don't know a whole lot about this tranny. I
know I can be looking at a whole new tranny rebuild possibly. But shy
of that...anything to check/look into? When I take it to a shop...I'd
like to walk in an at least seem like I know what I am talking
about..in efforts to reduce the shop perhaps taking me for a ride.
Any clues, tips, or hints appreciated. I do have complete and full
power in reverse of course.
Thanks

Have you crossed any creeks or deep puddles lately? You almost could be
describing a frozen up transmission.
Jeep transmissions do not have high water vent lines for some really
strange reason.

Re: Any Tranny False Alarms? or All Bad?
What kind of warranty did you get with that transmission repair at 110k?
How long will it take you to get to the repair shop in reverse? No, there
is nothing obvious you can do, except make sure that the oil level is up.
