#406 of 497 2005 JGC 5.7-Hemi by why66 Oct 22, 2009 (3:48 pm)
Replying to: lupering (Oct 19, 2009 12:41 pm) My car stops for no reason when I decelerate to turn corners, enter an on-ramp to get on the highway. I bought it with 46K miles and it now has 68K. What do you think this could be? Goodyear couldn't find anything when I took it to them twice after it stopped. When it starts up again, it runs fine until it stops without warning...The steering wheel just locks and I know what's about to happen.   What do you think is happening?

Replying to: why66 (Oct 22, 2009 3:48 pm) do you mean that the steering gets hard to turn?   or does the steering wheel lock and not be able to turn?
#408 of 497 Transfer Box by indianajames Oct 23, 2009 (7:40 am)
Is it possible to change a 249J transfer box to a 242J on a 1994 Grand Cherokee Limited?   If so, are there any modifications needed on the new box?

Replying to: cbshark (Oct 22, 2009 6:50 am) If you have 4x4 I suggest you evaluate the transfer case to make sure it is not causing or contributing to the problem. If you've never dropped the pan and changed filter, you can try that first.   Suggest you evaluate engine (compression test) and then decide on transmission. Remanufactured trans is less risky than rebuild but I don't know the costs. I had a trans rebuilt by a Dodge dealer, but it was their car and their extended warranty.

Replying to: cbshark (Oct 22, 2009 6:50 am) your trans has no cables all controled by computer   in engine compartment on the left side when you look from the front way to the back right beside what looks like a thermouse bottle you see a large bunch of wires hooked into a box have found that the conection will get loose and allow water from the acculmater to enter and crode the conection (i unhooked the battery and took the conection apart and pluged and unpluged a few times then coated with dilectric greese put back together took care of my rough shifting on my 2000 jeep gr cher

Replying to: cbshark (Oct 22, 2009 6:50 am) light pink transmission fluid means it's contaminated with water. you should stop driving the truck and see if you can't flush out the water from the system. transmission fluid should look a clear red even as bad as a dark red with addative. black means it's burnt, but pink is water, and most likely a transmission rebuild. I'm stuck in the same situation, but mkine is older and won't shift out of second. hopefully i helped. bring it to a tranny shop and let the pro's deal with it.
#412 of 497 2001 T & C Transmission problem thud when it down shifts by hunterbaye Oct 26, 2009 (3:59 am)
Just had a Complete Transmission Flush ( $380) at a Chrysler dealer and when driving home the transmission makes a Thud/Clunk noise when coming to a stop. It will not do it when I put it in netural- and if I stop when going less than 30 MPH. Any suggestions. Replies to this message: loosenut (Oct 26, 2009 10:57 am) cbshark (Oct 26, 2009 1:11 pm)
#413 of 497 AWD4 Issue by robodeaux Oct 26, 2009 (10:25 am)
'93 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. Tranny pan seal was leaking, had it replaced and tranny flushed. Still leaks! I was driving and lost all power to the wheels. Has plenty of fluid. Transmission Control Module bad?

Replying to: hunterbaye (Oct 26, 2009 3:59 am) first,$380 is a high price for a trans flush/fill-i called aamco,and their regular price-for my gcl,was $120..with the synthetic fluid, --so,-take it back to them,and see what they screwed up.. --then again,sometimes things break when you fix other things..could be totally unrelated,but because they happened just after you had something fixed-maybe the other parts got jealous?(lol) -

Replying to: cbshark (Oct 22, 2009 6:50 am) ***UPDATE***   After reading all of your suggestions, I figured it'd be worth it to drop the pan, change the filters and fluid and test the solenoids. I didn't have to go that far. When I crawled under the Jeep to get started, I found the cable that runs from the driver's side of the transmission to the gear selector in the cabin loose. I don't know the precise name of the parts, but this cable moves a lever on the side of the transmission when you select P,R,N,D,1 OR 2. It wasn't connected at all, but was simply laying next to it's connection. It's just a rubber boot on the end of the cable that pushes over a ball pin type of connection. I pushed it back on, had my wife turn the key on (but not the engine!) and go through the gears while I watched from beneath. Everything looked fine, so I test drove it and am happy to report that so far so good!!! No more delay when putting it in gear, no more rough downshifts at traffic lights. I'm curious to know how the thing was moving at all without that cable connected, but I'm assuming the computer can recognize the position of the gear selector and was doing it's best to handle the shifts accordingly?   In any event it works! Thanks for all of your suggestions and tips.
