Out of all my troubleshooting, trying to get my transmission issue fixed, I am hitting dead end after dead end. Most recently I discovered a 3" round rock wedged up on top of my transmission. It had been banging around up there for a while from the looks of it, and has started to wiggle this plug loose.
Here's a general view, the hole in the bracket for the shift linkage is where the next photo was taken.
The black plug in the picture is loose. I don't know what it is, and thus I don't know if it could be my issue.
As some background, It's an AW4 with about 160k on it and keeps dropping out of gear on the highway when I have been cruising for a while. It doesn't do it every time I drive it, many times I have made the 30 mile trip home from work (all around 70mph) without issue only to have it drop out of gear and not go back in the following morning on the way to work. Other days it won't even make it to the highway.
I have replaced the TPS, adjusted the TV cable, Done a fluid and filter change (with correct fluid), and have no leaks at all. My next step is a torque converter, but I am trying to work out some of the cheaper ideas first.
