Hey everyone. Got a question that Ive been trying to find info about for about a week now. Ive searched and searched and just keep getting the same threads.
Here is what my newly aquired Xj is doing... Before I start, I havent touched it yet. I havent done a trans fluid change, or anything because the dealer told me all the fluids are fresh on all their cars. I know...its a dealer, but I did check the fluid and it looked nice, smelled nice, and seemed to be at the correct level (idling in N)
After the Jeep gets hot, and the tranny gets hot, if has a weird feeling when coming to a complete stop. What happens is, when coming to a stop, JUST before the jeep comes to a complete holt, I get this little lurch, or bump or something. Its hard to describe. Seems to only do it after I accelerate for a bit, then need to stop...not if I drift forward after stopped and brake again.
Then, SOMETIMES when I go, it will sort of lurch or bump doing take off. That happens pretty rarely though. Seems to be dependant on if im on a hill or stopped at a weird angle.
Ive read about people having somewhat similar issues, but they all seem to be different, or way more severe.
Things that I thought of was fluid, T.P.S., or torque converter. I plan to change the fluid and filter regardless of what the dealer said...as soon as I figure out which fluid to use... all the threads on that issue seem to be contradicting.
Any thoughts on this at all? As it seems to be heat related, I want to say its a fluid/trans interal issue. Solenoids getting weird at temp maybe???
As the title says its an 01 Limited, with about 87k on the clock. Well maintained and it runs and shifts great.
