I have a 2000 xj 4x4 w/ 93,000 miles... auto tranny...
I moved and towed a 5x8 uhaul trailer from CO to Minnesota, pretty full and very heavy. I didnt have any experience with towing so I drove for around 300 miles with the OD on, while on the highway. As soon as I started to go on the back roads my tranny would shift erratically, so I would pull over and let it sit for a while. I did my research and drove with the OD off in 3, also checked my fluid constantly, and it didnt smell burnt, never low. The fluid is a little brown, but not too bad. Do you think I have anything to worry about? Should I change the fluid asap? Does it sound like an overheated tranny, and should I be looking for signs? Thanks!
