#145 of 164 1998 Wrangler Sport Auto Tranny Issue (?) by thegrlfrmtahoe Jun 08, 2009 (4:36 am)
So, maybe a couple weeks ago, I noticed a sound. The only way I can describe the sound is either like when mud dries and flies off your undercarriage while you're driving or maybe like a rusty bolt rolling around in the back. I wrote it off as something like that, until I cleaned everything out, checked underneath and didn't find anything loose, and the sound hasn't stopped...   Fast forward to a couple days ago, I notice that I'm super sluggish when accelerating from a stop, like there is absolutely no torque. Once it catches second its fine, and it's fine at cruising speeds.   I don't know if the sound is connected to the issue or not; Lord knows with the luck I've had lately, the whole bottom is probably about ready to fall out of it. I'm just hoping I don't need a new transmission. Any ideas? Replies to this message: nomad443 (Jun 08, 2009 6:21 am) erickpl (Jun 08, 2009 12:30 pm)

Replying to: thegrlfrmtahoe (Jun 08, 2009 4:36 am) Sorry, I'm just a driver and not a mechanic by any stretch of the imagination. Had a '98 Sahara before trading up to a '04 Sahara and never experienced anything you've described. My only suggestion would be to take it to a REPUTABLE 4wheel shop and get their take on the problem. Good luck!   nomad443

#148 of 164 auto 5 speed by randy0730 Jul 11, 2009 (7:46 am)
Hello, I have an 04 Wrangler. it is not very good on the highway as it continues to shift in and out of 4th gear. I have the 4.0 engine and the tires are not very big 31 x 10.5 x 15. the mileage on the jeep is 61K. Compression is good in all the cylinders. But going up average hills on the interstates (Alabama) it will shift down into 3rd at 60 mph. Is there an auto 5 speed that will rectify this or what is the next step/move?   thanks   rc

Replying to: long44 (Jul 20, 2009 8:20 am) I haven't done it myself, but I understand that positioning the gasket properly is VERY critical. And if there is any warping of the metal, you have more serious problems.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

Replying to: long44 (Jul 20, 2009 8:23 am) It would also help if you said from where on the transmission the fluid is leaking. There are many other places besides the pan joint that it can appear from. Replies to this message: long44 (Jul 21, 2009 12:04 pm)

Replying to: nomad443 (Jun 03, 2009 10:30 am) The noise upon shutting off the engine, I can live with. I believe it is a "Jeep thing", but the noise in Neutral gear is annoying. Thanks for your reply.
