Hate to say it, but I think you need to swap the trans.

Without a power flush there is no way to get all the moisture out of the trans, converter, and lines. You also have the possibility of having messed up the solenoids in the trans. It is probably salvageable but you are going to have to pull it anyway and check the converter I think.

I say pull it, get the Converter checked and if the converter is good, use it on your new trans.

Swapping the trans is really only an afternoon job. It's not all that hard to do. Even by your self. Just pull it. But until then I would deffinately not rely on it as transportation.

Re: Re: My First XJ Build
Haven't looked yet. I plan on pulling the pan and replacing the filter and testing all the solenoids before I swap it in

I was going to say it that's a known good trans an the fluid is more red then dark red/brown black that torque converter should be fine no reason to replace it by the in put seal would be a good thing to replace while the trans is put

Drain the trans or the TC? Not sure on the TC. As far as the trans, you should be able to get an air nozzle and spray through one of the cooler line holes.

I'm sure if you took the tc in they could clean it for you to be honest if the trans work properly when pulled I wouldn't sweat it as long as the fluids not burnt

is this a build thread or a spoon feed? Search dude, flushing the tranny is super easy.
I put my aw4's through some serious shiiiiat and a lot of flushing kept em alive for way longer that they should.

Re: Re: My First XJ Build
Better than me posting new threads for every question. And I'm not talking about flushing the tranny. I'm talking about flushing the torque converter to make sure I get all the old fluid that's been sitting in there for idk how long

Only way I know is with everything installed, and disco the output cooler line from the rad, have it over a bucket, and run it and keep adding fluid through the dipstick. In a way, it's the same as using a machine, just with what you got.

That's funny I never thought about doing it that way
