I serviced my 97 jeep transmission last summer and I swear I had enough fluid in it, but my mechanic said it was low. Added fluid and problems went away. It would be interesting to know how the transmission cooler is suppose to work and if it is OK. Is it under pressure like your cooling system and how can you measure it? As a precaution you might want to verify that the ... Read More...

A damaged torque converter shouldn't affect reverse but the whole tranny. I would think If the torque converter was damaged that it wouldn't move. On my jeep there is something I think is a sensor, i'll look, it's on the bellhousing. I'm not sure if a vavle engages reverse or a solenoid, my guess would be a solenoid to engage reverse, but i'm not sure i'll see what ... Read More...

I have a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0L, 2x4. The transmission has been slipping. The code came up 0740 pointing to the torque converter. I replaced the Pressure transducer, Pressure solenoid in the governor, fluid, new filter and I drove it for a few days. The slipping seemed to be gone. Then the transmission icon on the dash came on. This was the first time it came ... Read More...

If you pay somebody to rebuild your engine or install a used engine, make sure you get a 90 day warranty on the compression test. V8 is cool. But, assuming it can be made compatible, maybe an I6 would be easier to find and cheaper. My 97 2wd JGC has the 4.0 I6. Acceleration was good but I don't tow Read More...

My 98 Cherokee with an AW4 transmission had the same symptoms. Not sure what your transmission is. I brought mine to a transmission repair shop for a free first time estimate, and all he could tell me he was the fluid was a little dirty and he didn't know what was wrong. According to him, my only option was a total rebuild. Then I thought, what the heck, I'll bring it ... Read More...
