My 96 XJ 4.0l got pulled over on the side of the road today because the AW4 decided it would slip.. Cruz'n along had it set at 70 mph,,, then rpms just started climbing, and not going nowhere.. "CRAP!!!" Pulled over sat for a second letting the big trucks go on by, checked the fluid and gezzzus it was way to full.. Came home drained at least a qt of the red-brown,, nasty,, junk till it read right in the middle of the stick,, idling,, in neutral... Took it for a spin a lil mix of hills, highway, and stop 'n' go traffic,, shifted like new... About 10 mins from the house started shifting crazy in n out of OD or not shifting right, just being eratic; got home and it was overfilled again... not as much but maybe an 1/8th over the full line..
Think the pump is going bad in it??
Or am I just being parinoid and when I drained it the first time extra fluid was in the valves,, ect???? But I checked it again after the test drive while running in neutral after going through the gears,, so Im just pretty much out of any answers........
I have about 2 or 3 qrts of GM Dex III, from changing the fluid in my Rodeo,, thinking about draining about whats left in the jug and replacing a bit.. FSM says the AW4 takes a lil under 8 qrts 8.45 to be exact,, just dont have that much..
If It sat overnight draining at the plug would all 8.45 qrts come out??
Thanks for any insight on this,, I have 2 vehicles down right now,, we cant afford another one down.. It sucks already trying to find rides while my wife is driving the XJ to work & school...
When it rains it pours here.....
