hi all. I am pretty sure I toasted my AW-4. the jeep has 125k miles. it was running good with not leaks. I was coming to a stop the other day , and I put the trans in Park a little sooner than the jeep wanted. there was a pretty loud clunk and another noise harder to describe. I know you really are not supposed to do that. Well I did not think much of it, because I have done worse in the past on other vehicles. and there was not immediate problems. Then a couple of day later, I got a couple of blocks from the house, and the tranny was slipping very bad and then a slam engage. I pulled into a parking lot and shut down. still no leaks. I tried to back out of the parking spot, and just a lot of slip, and then a slam engage, and then slip. The jeep seemed to go forward better, but a lot of slipping.
I tried to push the jeep out of the parking spot in neutral. NO GO. it moved but not much. I went to hook a tow strap to the jeep to pull it out of the space and tow it home, and somehow my GF was able to get the jeep to reverse and then drive the 2 blocks back to the house. The jeep will go forward , but makes a pretty good grinding noise while it is doing it.
I am thinking that I somehow damaged the parking section of the trans. I ordered a manual for the trans, and I am waiting for it to arrive.
I have enough jeeps now that I am thinking to do the trans overhaul myself. but maybe it does not need a complete overhaul, just parking parts
any ideas
thanks
