Well several of you know about just how awsome my Jeep is at taking corners. I did so today coming home and I used it as an opportunity to pass a slow a$$ Jeep Liberty that swung wide in the same turn.
I hit this gas hard as I made the 90 degree turn from inside right to inside right and the engine rev'd and it took off. I was on dry pavement and in full time 4x4. At first I thought I had broke loose the tires (it will in the rain) but then started processing what could have caused the reving, and it has to be a transmission slip.
I figure the fluid all went to one side of the transmission and the clutches started slipping.
I'll check the fluid here in a bit or tomorrow after I get to work. I'm hopeful that it's just low. I don't get any slipping hitting it hard going forward, and other than what I just experienced in that turn, I've never noticed it slipping.
Oh well, I guess I'll be teaching myself how to rebuild an auto-transmission here soon. No way am I going to pay $1k $2k to have it rebuilt.
