I have done searches and havent found anyone with the same problem. about a month ago on the way home from a trail ride I sensed a faint trans fluid smell. When I got home I looked under Jeep and everything was dry, but I could here a bubling sound coming from the trans pan and it was hot, I mean hot. So I ordered a trans gauge, installed it and have been driving around for short trips and it never gets over 140(the gauges first number is 140 but the needle falls below it). So I think everything is ok. Well today I drive it about 16 miles one way and on my way home same thing but the gauge never comes off the peg. I touch the pan and it is hot and making the boiling sound again but the trans lines are completely cool. What could the problem be? I would assume that if the cooler was clogged one line would be hot and not the other, but both are cool. I installed the gauge sending unit in the return line close to the trans. Any help is appreciated. thanks seth
