Although this is on an '04 WJ, I am posting it here because I am certain that the issues would be universal for all the Jeeps of this era. Mods, please feel free to move if necessary.
I used an extractor down the filler tube to empty the pan. Pulled the tranny pan down and replaced the filter. No issues there. Put back in about 2 quarts of fluid and it was showing full to the cold line.
Backed out and ran through the gears a few times and then took it about 1/2 mile to the next cul de sac and back. Everytime the Jeep needed to catch a gear it would rev to about 2000 RPM before catching.
I got it back into my garage and pulled the dipstick and smoke came out the filler tube. Hoping maybe I just need more fluid. The manual said to replace about 2 quarts and I hope maybe it just wasn't enough.
HELP!! Thoughts?
