it is inside trans also could have leak on filter o ring did you install as instructions?
miss, its running fine but vibrating. I have checked all the engine mounts and they are fine, I even replaced the transmission mount for nothing cause I felt it had some play in it.
I am thinking of going after the vibration damper next unless someone has a better solution.
Thanks
and will let you know if that did the trick.
I traded it, and bought a 2006 Laredo and thought my problems would be gone. Just the start! With 60,000 miles on it I have the transmission light going off and the system goes into a slipping out of gear or a revving. I have to shake the gear knob to get it "out" of the malfunctioning mode!!
I have read a lot similar problems! Besides this not so scary problems, are the following; the seat belt light is on with the @!#$% chime on, the air bag light is on, the check gas cap is on, and my low tire light is on. Believe me, my husband has checked all four tires with the gauge, filled them properly and there is nothing wrong with the tires! I will never ever buy or suggest a jeep to anyone! I hate chrysler and believe me they are aware of these problems.
Today I am on my way to shop to see what they can or can't do to the jeep. Last time when I had the trany light problem the shop said well it isn't on now! Well that is murphy's law! It was on all the way down 44 miles to service shop but then when the crap JEEP is being looked at, the light isn't on. I guess the light has to be on! This is a nightmare!!!!! Well today Sept 19, 2011 I am taking it down for the oil change and they have check out the problems. I said to them they are keeping this jeep, pronounced HEEP in our family, until they figure out what is wrong.
NOW THE SECRET. it is called the secret hidden warranty. PLEASE CALL
1-800-992-1997 Chrysler covers the four-speed automatic transmissions from some years through 10 years or 100,000 miles.
for any JEEP ISSUES. I called today and Kelly customer service said that they do not have records of my transmission light and slipping issues on the 2006 jeep 60,000 problems. Then she said, "do you want to be transferred to the service contract warranty department?" Yes I do!!
Spoke to the service contract department and this is the following info. On my particular SUV-VIN # GIVEN- I DO HAVE THE FOLLOWING WARRANTY up until 80,000 or MAY 23, 2014.
My service contract will cover the following:
transmission case-internal parts
Torque converter
transmission control module------ PROBABLY-THE CULPRIT IN MY SITUATION
Transmission range switch
Bell housing
Oil Pan
seals and gasket for the listed comp above.
CHRYSLER needs to know. about these problems CALL THEM AT THE 1-800 LISTED ABOVE
I hope this is helpful .
If you see any wiring or a sensor covered with oil, repair it.
One other thing you should do is check all the ground wire connections for the transmission electrical components. Get an ohmeter. One end should be conntected to negative terminal of the battery. It should be 0.00 ohms. Set your meter to this scale. Good luck. My guess is transmission thinks engine activity (example throttle) is changing when it really isn't.
Hopefully someone out there can help! I have a 4.7lt 2001 Grand Cherokee 150,000 miles on the clock and have had problems with the gearbox when the engine warms up. From cold until say 20 miles running everything is fine and then it drops down into 3rd gear with no response then from the overdrive button. When cold this is not and issue only when it warms up. The jeep dealer cannot find any fault on his diagnostic equipment and has basically washed his hands of it! I have been told to check the grounds which may be losing contact when the engine warms up but they all appear to be fine. Has anyone any experience of this please??
I'm assuming you've already checked obvious things such as fluid level, leaks and electrical connections. Sometimes the prongs inside electrical plugs lose their "spring" and don't make good connections like they used to especially in high mileage vehicles. It happened to me with my Throttle Position Sensor. I blamed it on a bad part only to find it was the electrical plug itself.
Since it's temperature related, that implies it could very likely be electrical (switch, sensor, solenoid valve, etc). First thing I would check is the engine temperature sending unit. Your Jeep might have more than one so check that out. Another thing to rule out is the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) as that would be suspect at such high mileage.
I assume yours has the 45RFE transmission which includes a temperature sensor inside the transmission. That along with the solenoids in my opinion should be checked out after you've ruled out anything external to the transmission.
Above all, don't become discouraged talking to other people about your problem because I haven't found many interested in this type of subject. Good Luck!
Adjust your band if you have an adjustment.
Drop pan and replace filter. If you let it sit a couple of days without the pan you will get more fluid out of it.
Also might find out where the transmission work was done and take it to them. If they are a reputable shop they should stand by their work and tweak what is not working.
Cheers,
It's
I have a 97 Jeep. The transmission was acting funny. It was surging a lot. Next, the water pump went. So I decided to replace the pump so I could drive it to transmission shop so I could at least get a rebuild quote.
I noticed the transmission cooler lines were leaking. So, I decided to replace them while I was under there.
Guess what? The transmission problems went away!. My theory is that any issues with transmission cooler lines somehow affects the pressures inside the transmission.
If you really like the car, here is what I would do.
1. Disconnect fluid lines at cooler.
2. Get fluid out of the cooler
3. Find out what pressure the trans cooler should be tested at and test it
4. If pressure test not OK, talk to a transmission shop before you go back to the mechanic or where you bought the new radiator.
5. If pressure test OK, replace both transmission cooler lines and test drive.
NOTE: The trans cooler lines should be bone dry
You may need a special tool to disconnect trans lines at the cooler.
After working on it follow procedure for adding fluid. If the fluid level is low it will act funny.
Finally I got a good result! As my first message stated the 2001 grand cherokee would drop out of top gear/overdrive once it reached running temp. Many checks were done and to no avail. Sticking solenoids in the tranny was suggested and perhaps may be the case in other vehicles however turns out that in my case it was diagnosed as the output speed sensor, a $40 part. A new one was ordered however on fitting it it was found that it was the connector to the output speed sensor that was at fault and a recrimp sorted that out! six weeks of hassle and thoughts that a new tranny may be needed and it turned out a basic connection! I hope your problem is as simple to fix and it sounds identical to mine.
Good luck.
Nobody on these forums can figure it out because i had the very same problem and all they can say is rebuild. Bullcrap!
What it is,is a pluged trans line and or radiator. On one of the lines between the radiator and the trans lines is a check valve that gets plugged. Which causes the radiator to also plug. It is a very easy fix with a air compressor. I changed every sensor and silinoids and still the same problem. The OD light would come on and about a couple of miles later the trans overtemp light would com on. The reason is the fluid isnt flowing through the radiator and it takes a while to overheat the trans.
So undo the trans lines at the radiator and on the trans a
nd aslo take that check valve off the line and see if that little ball bearing is stuck. blow air through the lines and through the radiator and also the check valve and you will find why your trans is throwing codes and overheating!!
I spent alot of meaningless money to find this out. Hope this helps dont rebuild
,rethink!! Mark
That sensor is burning out because the trans is getting to hot.
from Mark
It is right up front and easy to get at . And causes alot of trouble as you can see on this forum. Mark
Any ides???
Thank you!!
Headed to the dealer in the morning...I suppose.
