Hi everyone,
I've been a member on here for a while and never had any problems with my jeep, believe it or not! My jeeps is a 98 4dr AW4/231 with 4.88s and 33's. I noticed the other day i drove with my a/c on(always run my aux fan with a switch) all day and my trans fluid started to foam out of the filler/dip stick tube. I thought this is abnormal because i do have an inline trans cooler on the outside of my radiator; the trans shouldnt be heating up for no reason... Anyway i dropped the pan and noticed my fluid was a chocolate milk/mocha brown. when dropping the pan i noticed a dark film on the bottom of the pan and the magnets had some shavings on them. i cleaned everything up, sealed up the trans and put fresh dexmerc in it and ran with no problems. Few days later CEL comes on flashing a p0700 and a p0740. Checked the codes and p0700 was tran control system malfuntion and p0740 is torque converter clutch malfunction. So I did SEARCH on here and found a few threads but no relative information.
I erased the code and drove and the CEL with the same 2 codes keeps appearing. I asked a few people and they said it sounds like the trans torque converter solenoid went out. Easy fix. They second time i pulled the pan(maybe 60 miles on the fluid) i checked the fluids and it was a dark red. swaped the solenoids, new trans filter and fluid. Drove for a mile and BAM! the CEL comes on and no change. I checked the trans wiring and everything checksout fine.
Symptoms: NO overdrive. 4th gear does not work. Cruise control does not work neither.
