I am considering buying a Cherokee from a friend but there's a problem. Someone changed the fluid in the transmission and put MOTOR OIL back in.
It's a '92 with AW4 transmission and around 122k miles. It was probably driven for less than 100 miles with the motor oil in the tranny. Of course, the transmission started acting up and not shifting correctly. The fluid has since been changed back to Decron III but I'm told the tranny still shifts funny.
How much damage was done? What problems should I look for? Will the tranny need replaced or will it be okay?
Thanks in advance for your knowledge and advice.
