I need instructions or a link to instructions or video on how to flush transmission fluid on my 2000 tj 4.0 automatic transmission. Fluid is black and I don’t want to just change what is in the pan
Thanks. Hell you may be creating more projects for me. Can always find something that needs to be fixed"How To" section bro...I'd link it for you, but then how else would you know what's been written in there? Enjoy the research, it's how we learn!
Don't forget to adjust the bands on your 32rh too. The work never ends.Thanks. Hell you may be creating more projects for me. Can always find something that needs to be fixed
It never hurts to give a link or give direct help here. There'd be no need for or benefit to these forums if everyone could find their answers by searching the internet."How To" section bro...I'd link it for you, but then how else would you know what's been written in there? Enjoy the research, it's how we learn!

Most important thing is the last comments about Facebook groups. I'm positive @Zorba wrote that. He has infinite wisdom on these matters and he is NEVER wrong.Haven’t seen anything on that. Don’t leave me hanging, more information please

Adjust shift points if it's slipping.Newbie question, What do the bands do?
If it fails in 10k miles after the flush it would have failed at 10k miles without it. That flushing old dirty ATF out and replacing it with fresh ATF causes failures is nothing but an old wive's tale.Fluid is "black" your say. Gentlemens bet here Jerry or others that his trans wont last 10K after that flush.
I didn't write that, but I wish I did. One time I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken...Most important thing is the last comments about Facebook groups. I'm positive @Zorba wrote that. He has infinite wisdom on these matters and he is NEVER wrong.
Hell 10k will get me through 2 years.Fluid is "black" your say. Gentlemens bet here Jerry or others that his trans wont last 10K after that flush.
I just did this trans flush and filter change on my LJ about a month ago and it had not been done previously. The fluid was in rough shape. I'm glad I did it and my trans is running noticeably better. It is a messy job but not difficult at all.Hell 10k will get me through 2 years.
This is a good thread to look at, might be more useful in your case.Came here to post a transmission question and this thread seems to apply.
You've got the infamous '05-'06 hard shift from 1st to 2nd problem. Don't hesitate....call Mark at WranglerFix. If you want to read about it, there are TONS of threads out there, but I honestly wouldn't bother. Many have gone before you with this problem. It's your PCM. It cannot be repaired and the ONLY solution is a WranglerFix PCM. It's a 10 minute replacement job once the PCM arrives. If you need more convincing that the PCM is the issue, grab a scanner that can read transmission codes. I'll bet it will show P0218 and P0714.Came here to post a transmission question and this thread seems to apply.
Got an 06 LJ, automatic. Last couple days the transmission has been acting different. Shifting from Park to Drive is fine, nice and solid response from the trans. But as i drive, the trans stays in 1st gear too long and then shifts a bit hard. Same thing, but much more subtle changing from 2 to 3. After a few stops and repeating the process, the trans starts shifting normal. Downshifting is fine. Only seems to occur after its been sitting for a while. I checked the fluid and its a little low so i'm adding some when i get off work. The fluid was still purple\red. But is there something else that might be causing this?
