Did you check the fluid level? 4 quarts may not have been enough to refill it and without hydraulic pressure the transmission will not engage.
HELP!!!
Great write up on the filter/fluid change.
I just did this procedure on my '96 XJ last week, but now I'm having problems!
After replacing the filter and pan gasket, adding four quarts of Dexron III, and pumping more old fluid out through the tranny cooler return line until I saw new fluid, I can't get the transmission to engage. The shifter moves through each gear but nothing happens, the jeep goes no where. I've been searching the forums but have yet to find anyone with my specific problem. Any suggestions?

X2. Let it sit for about five or ten minutes before checking the level (and check with it warmed up and in the proper gear on a level surface after shifting through all the gears a few times while the moon is 3 days past full, etc etc); after pouring fluid down the dipstick tube (why exactly did they decide this was a good idea for all automatic transmissions?) the inside of the tube is so covered in fluid that you won't get a good reading at all till it drains down a bit.To much out not enough in!!!!!! Fill it!!
thanks! yes, a typo, and one that i can't fix now.
maybe a mod can go in and edit that post for me.
Thanks for the pics. Very clear!:wave1: Greetings from Holland
Great write up. I like how you hold those pan bolts...just don't sneeze or cough...
For the record, fill capacity for the AW4 is 8 liters, or 8.45 qts. !
