Hi , a new member and thanks for any help I can get.. I am marooned in Hawaii 70 miles from any town or auto supply with a 2005 TJ which has faithfully kept me going for 300,000 miles.. Transmission acted up a couple days ago, turning around near my house all of a sudden there was no drive , stuck in the middle of the road I turned off the engine and started up and away it went.
First thing I thought was filter so few days later managed to get a filter and having to cut off the bolts to the smaller skid plate due to turning nuts in the frame, replaced the filter and the right kind of trans fluid, I was amazed that the bottom of the pan was almost spotless, leaving me to believe that the problem could be elsewhere.. I have no access to a code reader so I am working blind...Kind of afraid of driving it , so far from any shops or parts so what to do next,
ECM or electrical connections maybe?
Problem seems to be getting worse even moving it around the yard but thinking that due to no parts flying around in the pan the problem could be electrical.. Could that cause complete lack of drive function out of the blue? Check engine light has been on for last 100,000 miles due to oxygen sensor issues but engine runs great..There has been no problem otherwise, no slippage or burnt trans oil..coming from poor oil pressure...Still got a weeks food left so I have a little time.. LOL
