My first post here!
Been 4wheeling for awhile, but got my first jeep for the wife just recently.
2001 Xj, 4.0, aw4, 4wd. 180k miles about.
I have done alot of recent maintenance, then 3 months into having it it slips like tranny is out bad. Apparently it has never been serviced from looking at color of fluid, which now smells awful burnt. Its also gotten pretty low despite being tip top level just a few weeks ago. My fault for not checking more periodically, but I never really drive it so don't think about it.
Anyway, trans seems toast to me. Picking up a new aw4 out of a 99 w 93k miles for $300 bucks today. Seemed fair with 3 month warranty.
Question is, are there any write-ups out there for replacing this trans in the xj?
I have pulled engines, but never did a trans. Seems straightforward and I will have help from a friend who swaps trans on full body drag cars all the time.
Anyone know of any good write-up threads here or elsewhere?
thanks.
