On our snow run this weekend my engine and tranny worked hard to get thru 2-3 feet of heavy wet snow. At two points I felt the tranny or torque converter slip when shifting into reverse (yes I got stuck with 38s). I stopped and let everything cool down and this resolved the situation. I don't like the idea of the auto failing in the back country because that's pretty much a deal breaker/gotta have someone drag me out incident.
This got me thinking:
Is there a way to make the AW4 bulletproof for extended snow and sand trips?
Should I just switch to a 5 speed?
Other than hanging a pedal, pluming a master cylinder and swapping the computer, how hard would it be to put a manual into my 97XJ?
