Recently my AW4 has been going through periods where it won't shift through the gears. In other words, if I put in in Drive it will try to leave from a stop in 4th gear. Same if I put it in 3rd. Reverse still works and if I manually shift to 1-2 from a stop and shift into 3rd and later drive it will go into gears. However I am not sure if overdrive works.
The problem is that does not happen all the time. Sometimes when I start it up and leave the house it shifts fine from Drive. It will sometimes stay good for several days, then go back where I have to manually shift. This on and off again process has repeated itself for several days.
The tranny has 161,000 miles and had not given me any problems until several weeks ago. I have tried several tranny "Fix it" additives and changed the fluid again, but am still having problems. I am probably capable of pulling apart the tranny, but are there any other suggestions?
