The dealer called me today and told me of two issues. 1. The oil leak was caused by a blown rear main seal. How the oil got on the top of the engine I will never know. It leaked around the CCVC. 2. Torque converter is toast and probably the front pump too. Had the F37 done in December of 2006. They replaced the TC at that time. I am going to speak with the tech tomorrow PM. and see what else he has to say. I would like to retain that nice firm shift if possible. |

Replying to: winter2 (Sep 23, 2008 4:15 pm) Could you try to explain what "toast" means? Is it excessive wear of the clutch plates or destruction of the central element within the TC? You had given the name of a company proposing a reinforced component that could handle the extra torque. Even if you change this component, the lockup clutch plates remain the same  I have to admit, 5 years ago my local Jeep tech understood well the latent problem of automatic shifting under high torque.

Replying to: nescosmo (Sep 24, 2008 10:15 pm)  The torque converter unit and the set of clutches are two distinct parts of the transmission. The first can typically become out of balance after overheating and the second should trigger a high oil temperature warning signal before the gearbox gets damaged. |

Replying to: mdamick (Sep 25, 2008 9:27 am) As to parts, I am doing this under warranty (stock parts). Before the year is over, the trans gets the transgo kit. If the TC fails again, then I will put a Suncoast or other high performance part in. |

Replying to: nescosmo (Sep 24, 2008 10:11 pm) I have been using the K&N in my CRD for more than 24K miles. There is no oily film anywhere in the intake tube to the turbo and in fact it is spotless. I spoke to the tech sometime ago about the K&N and he said no problem. As to the oil, it gets changed every 5000 miles. I use Amsoil full synthetic 15W-40. It specs out like Mobil 1 5W-40 diesel motor oil except Noack is much lower. I will look on EBay for the CVCC. |

Spoke with the dealer today and I should be getting my CRD back this evening. Items replaced included the torque converter which had overheated (turned blue) and surprisingly the rear main seal. That went for reasons unknown. Cost $0.00 Thank goodness for extended warranties.
