Alright, so here is what I have. 91 jeep Cherokee with 4.0 HO and a 4 speed auto with a 242J t/c.
Here is what I happened- I pulled all of this out of a 91 to put into mine, since mine looked better and had the lift kit and everything on it.
In the midst of all this I cleaned everything and changed the oil pan gaskets and transmission filter. Well, when I put the went to put the transmission in the jeep, as I connecting it to the engine I heard a loud pop. Almost sounded like a tack broke while you are welding. Didn’t think much of it because it almost seemed like the metal plate between the bell and the motor might have been hung up on the thread of a bolt and broke loose. However, today when I went to drive the jeep for the first time since installation the transmission wouldn’t work in anywhere from reverse to low. When in park the jeep won’t move. But once I take it out of park it acts as if it is in neutral. This has led me to believe that I had not indexed the torque converter right and may have broke the pump. Therefore, I disconnect the tran cooler lines and like I predicted it pumped nothing out of the pressure side. However, when I turn the engine off I can hear a bunch of fluid flowing and it sounds like the oil it draining back into the pan. So I am not sure if the pump is broke or not since the fluid is moving in there.
Anyone have any ideas?
