Anytime fluid gets between surfaces it helps to act as a vehicle causing more fluid to flow through the same breach, make sense?
At one year - maybe 25k on the odometer, new filter wouldn't hurt anyway.
Cheers!
could this resolve in poor connectivity or maybe i need alternater still original i also added lucas antislip transmission fluid it has 2020000km
I think you put an extra digit in there! Either that or you have a VERY remarkable vehicle.

I have not tightened the bolts because I don't know what the torque is. I could get a torque wrench to verify this, but then I am thinking that since I am still under warranty to have the dealer take care of this and get this over with. On the other hand, I am not afraid to get underneath the car and verify the torque, and if that doesn't solve it, to remove the pan, clean the old sealant off, and reinstall it with this Mopar RTV sealant I once picked up from the dealer which is specially formulated for use with transmission fluid. My take on this is that it can't be any more difficult than an oil change, which I do anyways, except for knowing the sequence of how to tighten the bolts back on. Guess I need to get a Chilton's car manual to find out.

Ya - RIGHT!
Crawl under that puppy and learn all you can about it. After all.......
You never know when you'll have to make repairs, neck deep in snow, mud, weeds and such. If you repair it yourself, and KNOW that you done it correct, any more leaks you'll be able to eliminate THAT scenario. Take time, no short-cuts, and do it right.
Oh ya, be careful & safe.
Cheers!
My trans shifts at high RPM's, and now I seem to have lost OD/4th gear entirely. It also seems to engage into reverse, gets a little momentum, and then loses reverse entirely. I've been parking up hill.
I've changed the filter/fluid, and then repeated after 15K miles. When I changed it last, there was a burned smell in the pan area.
I've been reading on here about Throttle position sensors, frozen sylanoids, etc. If you get it straightened out, post it. I am handy with the tools, but can't diagnose worth a sheet.
I love my snowmobile, often drive through the yard just to show off I can in a foot or so of snow. Want to get another 100K, without Trans replacement.

Is this a problem with the transmission or transfer case? I dropped it down in to 4X low but I still wasn't getting the low-end torque. A similar problem happened 2 weeks ago and then I noticed that putting it into low gear going down hill did not slow the Jeep down much. Thanks...Sing
well i got in my 2003 jeep grand cherokee 4.0 auto and it didnt want to shift out of first gear tried to do it manually still didnt work never showed any previous problems
really high put only moves slow,rpms go up but no love.I have checked
the trans fluid (ok) Jeep acts like the parking break is on while moving
foward or in reverise...any ideas?
a good start and check.
Reason i am worried about this is cuz i just sunk(yes,sunk!) almost 2000.00 on a rebuilt transmission on it about 7 months ago and a friend mentioned to me if the transmission cooler has a blockage than it could cause the transmission to overheat and ruin it,which would not be cool at all.Before i pick it up i would love to have some advice from you all,something maybe my mechanic is missing????Thanks
When stopped at a light I can feel a lot of vibration. Moving selector from Drive to Neutral significantly reduces it. Except for this, still drives and rides nice, but the vibration is annoying. Accelerates and cruises OK.
At first, I thought it was rough idle, but now I don't think so. No significant fluid leaks anywhere that I can see. Can someone give me a clue? I know what to look for when I inspect the brakes, but I don't know how to inspect the transmission and engine mounts. Could engine idle really be that sensitive?
Thanks in advance.
So my question, Is this just the transmision being in too high of a gear? Could be cause by something else?
I have changed the airfilter and added fuel injector cleaner. The dealership has told me they can't reproduce the problem and they have updated the transmission sequence? my next step is to take them for a drive myself but they seem to not care much about the problem.
Anyone have any suggestions to look into... a cracked spark plug?
I've had the car since it had 36K miles, but I have never replaced the tranny fluid or filter. Will doing this resolve the problem?
Thanks in advance.
Is "gearbox oil" similar to tranny fluid? and where does it go?
Please help, I'm usually pretty good with regular maintenance issues but this is my first 4WD and I am a bit lost.
dose the trans oil on the check stick smell burnt? does it have the right amount of oil?
if the previous oner had it changed or changed it him self could have put in the wrong type if he used dextron bad news
I would tahe to trans place and have them change the oil and flush it out put in right oil
I have taken it to one place who said it woudl be 1500.00 jsut to open the tranny to see what was wrong. I am a chick and dont knwo to much. Any help?????
It may be the Throttle Position Sensor which tells whether you are looking for more power from the engine.

I think a new tranny should cost that much, not checking it out. Try a different place.
