As hard as this may be to comprehend, I was/and am now again having issues with the transmission on my AM 93' XJ.
Thought it might be time enough to change out the filter (it did need to be change), take care of the fluid (which need to be changed), and the car ran alright for awhile. In the morning after the car sat warming up, it still when I tried to accelerate shifted into second late and at a high rpm. I passed by that problem and was greeted with a light noise from the trans, and then the other day drove down rt. 83 like I do everyday, and had to push my car into the oak brook parking lot (I work at Eddie Bauer in Oak Brook) because as soon as the car came to a stop, it chose to not engage in 1st. Then, to get home I called upon my buddy with a stock xj to hook up to my custom 4x4 fr. Bumper (Thank you custom 4x4), and used a wonderful tow strap in his hitch to pull me back down rt. 83 (thought i saw an lifted xj speed by us). Have an appointment at Contin. Jeep in Countryside for Mon., but want to see if I could call in a favor and have someone experienced with just XJ's take a look at it and help me out. Or even just a post on here with something that it might be.
I'm thinking a pump went out in my trans...not completely sure though.
I also have parts for the extra lift I want on my car as well that I want to get on, and it's getting me pissed off that the car doesn't move.
ANY assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to all, as always
