Since I'm on the topic eventhough I'm planning on replacing the tranny in the Jeep I would like to know if anyone has input on what they think went wrong. Jeep still drives, front half of tranny nearest the converter whines like hell at idle on cold start, its really sluggish engaging all gears and shifts erratically. Fluid smells pretty burnt but isnt black or too abnormal, level was ok. Shifts better once its warmed up a bit but still whines and doesnt shift like it should. My guess is the converter or lack of maintenance and a bad pump or something? Just interesting to know what it may be, the way I see it easiest and cheapest to replace with a good used one.
