1997 XJ, 4.0, AW-4, NP231, 3" lift, 440K miles.
For the past few days when I start driving in the AM I heard a whining sound that I thought could possibly be the torque converter. I checked fluid, it was full, red and maybe a touch of burnt smell. (It's been 12K miles since last fluid change.)
At that time the shop put in 5 qts of ATF+4, and 2 qts of Dex/Merc. He didn't have all 7 qts of Dex/Merc and he said that this would be OK.
Yesterday I went trail riding and on way home on the Interstate the transmission apparently died. My engine RPM's went over 3000 and there was no power to the wheels. It was like the Tranny was in Neutral. Had to be towed home.
This tranny was bought brand new and has 153,000 miles on it.
Anyway, is the Tranny toasted, or could it be a "minor" problem that can be fixed?
Appreciate any help-
