DELAYED ENGAGEMENT FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE
CAUSE: Torque converter drain back (oil drains from torque converter into transmission sump).
CORRECTION: If vehicle moves normally after 5 secs after shifting into gear, no repair is necessary. If longer, inspect pump bushing for wear. Replace pump house
I believe that my trans is a 42re, can someone tell me what the diff is and if it will
work in my 98.
thanks
My issue(s) are almost identical to yours! I just purchased an 05 JGC with the 3.7 V6. I have an identical shutter around 40-43 mph or 1400 - 1500 rpms. I also purchased a 3rd Party Extended Warranty through the dealer ( 4 years/ 50,000 miles ).
I'm curious if I could get your advice on how best to handle this issue? I'd like the warranty to cover it but I'm hesitant to go in right away based on your experience... I've read some other posts where the dealer / mechanic says 'that's just the way jeeps are' but it sounds like your issues were fixed? Do you think I'd be better of 'living with it' for a few months and then taking it in?
Any advice you have would be GREATLY appeciated!
In my case, the warranty company and dealership both chipped in about $800 towards my $2750 repair, but made me sign a release form promising not to sue them just to get that much. After that, I realized I probably did have a legal claim, but it was just so much hassle.
Just 2 weeks ago, the jeep started making whining noises that I thought was the transmission again, but turned out to be a bad belt tensioner and a failing AC compressor coil. When they replaced the tensioner and took the bad coil off, it not only got quiet, my MPG went up by 3MPG - apparently the thing has been dragging the belt even while not being used, for the past 15000 miles... doh! But it runs better now.
Good luck with your jeep. Sorry I couldnt offer any more advice.
I have 2 persons related to me that have jeep cherokee and in the past both have problem with the transmission.The person in the dealer told me they fixed tha problem. Is that true.

When accelerating from a complete stop it starts making a noise of a stick in a fan until you get to about 30 mph then it stops until you accelerate to pass someone and then it will start back up until you let off the gas. When accelerating at a very very slow pace it works fine. The transmission is not skipping or shifting hard. Fluid levels are good. No service engine light is on.
I am going to have it fully serviced with a complete fluid change and new filter since it has not been done is a long time and has 145000 miles.
Question: Is there any bands that have to be adjusted? I know it is important to use the correct fluid. What fluid is recommended for this transmission and what is the adjustment process if there is one?
Thanks
Thank's.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
Thanks
Googling as in my case "AW4 manual" resulted in many hits for viewing the transmission manual. I was told by both a transmission shop and the Jeep dealer I needed to rebuild my transmission. Neither one could (or wouldn't) tell me what was wrong with it. With nothing to loose, I checked the solenoids myself and have been running with the same transmission ever since, and that was in 2008.
Thanks!!
I have a 93 with a 6 and it does this trying to go into first gear but never fails if I manually put it into first. This makes me think it might be electrical but the solenoids can do this as well so I have been told.
If I really liked the car and had lost faith in repair shops, I would buy the 2006 shop manual and read the whole chapter on transmission. My manual has over 120 pages just on transmission. Read the troubleshooting sections. What can you check with the trans still in the vehicle? Cables? Wiring?
Maybe operation in 1 or 2 will help you learn more.
If the trans has its own computer, make sure the ground and power wires are OK. You need a good voltmeter.
It's a difficult situation. I believe its $500 in labor just to pull and re-install a transmission, but it seems way too soon to have to do a rebuild.
If you get it resolved, please update the thread for our benefit.
I think I will get the manual for my 93 since I know how bad grounds and such can cause problems....Saturns have a problem when the ground or plus is corroded on the battery. It really screws up the whole running of the engine since it is all controlled by a computer, even the accelerator...not mechanical.
Thanks
