What did you do to your jeep today?

[profdlp]

Could the extra ports be for a transmission cooler? (Been a while since I studied that.)

 

[lfhoward]

^^^ Probably so. My 08 has the stock transmission cooler integrated into the radiator.

 

[Leeann]

Yep, there for a transmission cooler. Just ignore them.

Working on the KJ will be like tripping over a skunk in the middle of night, drunk, in a strange mountain forest with Big Foot chasing you
EASY , easy , easy

Yeah! Truthfully everything I've done one the KJ has been easy so far. Even easier than my supposedly simple VW. Them Nissan's are Hades.

I've been working on my KJ all wrong.
Anybody have a spare skunk or Big Foot?

 

[Johnny O]

And the hits just keep on coming...man I hate how the plastic hides stuff.

Time to look for donor steel. At least aint daylight through it yet.

I’ve got a Nessie in my pond and a bunch of gremlins in my wife’s car.

Rear bumper ? I had them made and sold them for a while back 2011=2012 or so, that one was one people wanted but never picked up so I finally stuck it on the 03

Noticed a bit of torque converter shudder (I think) at 30 mph after shifting from 2nd into 3rd. Hmmmmm. 187K miles on it. Is it wearing out?

 

[LibertyTC]

How many miles since you last changed ATF+4 transmission fluid & filter? Fluid at full line ?

Last changed in September of last year, fluid and filter (not a flush).

Interesting. Since you are the one telling me about it, it must not be a product that can cause more issues like a stop leak in a radiator. Tell me more about your experience. My jeep was doing something almost identical to this today, after shifting into 3rd in town (especially on a slight uphill):

No check engine light or pending codes (yet).

Installed new stereo. Cheapy off Amazon by Boss audio. 35 bucks or so, along with new bezel surround. Old unit CD portion didn't work, always made a strange sound like it was reading CDs, but no CDs installed. Did that every time I started the KJ.

Now I have bluetooth, USB port/charger and an auxiliary port if needed. Good unit, also have in my '69 300 'vert.

Assembled portable winch cradle. Waiting for Amazon to deliver power cables/connectors to build the winch power cables for front/rear hitch mounts.

Pending or transmission codes may not set, & recommend you have it checked with a high end shop scanner. A good trans shop may be best or dealer.
If they know what they are doing, they should be ablve to view the clutch volume index and be able to check solenoids performance etc.
Ya the LubeGard shudder fix is a good safe product. Worth a try.

 

[Leeann]

Guy on another forum swears by it - his trans was starting to do the same thing, a transmission guy told him to try the LubeGard shudder fix first. He hasn’t had to do anything to the trans since - and it’s been a couple years.

Though now that I look at it, that rear bumper is pretty sharp too!

Thanks Tom, TC and Leeann for your suggestion of the instant shudder fix treatment. I added a tube today and the shudder is a little more muted but still present. I drove it about 25 miles to make sure the ATF was all mixed around. I think this means I will need to be saving up for a new torque converter at some point in the near future. (Also, checked the level and the ATF is not low and is still a normal red color. It’s only a year old.)
