Hi All,
I'm hoping for help on a problem with my 99XJ that's got me and my mechanic stumped.
I recently had my auto transmission flushed and filled -routine maintenance. I took a camping trip last weekend and had the car packed with gear and people in hot (~90s) weather.
Going up hill on the freeway, my check gauges light went on and my temp gauge jumped from normal to one notch below max in a flash. I pulled over and checked my fans and coolant level. All fans were on (including aux) and coolant was ok.
After a couple of minutes, the temperature dropped as quickly as it rose in the beginning and all was good.
Later on I was going slower up a steeper hill. The same things happened except this time my oil pressure dropped to about 15 and I was leaking ATF. I checked my trans fluid level and it was well above max. Just like the first time, after a few minutes temp dropped to normal and all was good.
Any idea on what's going on?
