Maddogjeeper 2 Posted September 18, 2011 One thing I noticed right away; I have a small rounded gutter at the foot of my short, slightly up hill, driveway. In the past, when the rear wheels had been stopped in that gutter I had to keep pressing on the gas pedal untill the jeep gain so much RPM that it shot out of the gutter into the garage. Now a slight increase in the gas rolls the jeep out of the gutter and into the garage. I guess the tranny had been slipping a great deal and my experiance with automatic jeeps was nil so I didn't know what I should have expected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klaykrusher 65 Posted September 20, 2011 Man Dennis, I had no idea. I just figured that's the way it was m/eant to handle. Only would notice what you described in 4hi on steep inclines on the trail and I just figured it was the added weight of equipment. I would always hunker down to 4lo and it would krawl no problem. Sorry to hear this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddogjeeper 2 Posted September 20, 2011 No problem Dave, I didn't know either. But what made the tranny fail was fluid starvation and that was because the shop that installed the deeper tranny pan didn't pin the pickup tube like I asked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddogjeeper 2 Posted September 21, 2011 Dave, I guess what I mean to say is I'm still very happy with my purchase of the LJ. This just gave me an opportunity to upgrade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
