Re: AW4 cut out wile driving
Were you checking oil hot or cold? Which oil did you put in it?
Re: AW4 cut out wile driving
I was checking it cold using the cold full line and im not 100% but I think it was dextron 4 or what ever there up to now it was a qrt i got about a year ago the last time it was low.
Re: AW4 cut out wile driving
IIRC you need Dextron III. Any other types will make the AW4 act up
Re: AW4 cut out wile driving
o well then i better check that lol
Re: AW4 cut out wile driving
Re: AW4 cut out wile driving
well I checked and it ws dextron 3 and I drained the 1/2 pint out that it was over. but its still doing it. it works fine tell it gets to operating temp it stops doing anything.
Re: AW4 cut out wile driving
Can you shift manually to any gear when hot?
Re: AW4 cut out wile driving
no when its hot it acts like all i have is park and neutral.
Re: AW4 cut out wile driving
I don't know, doesn't sound good. Lots of miles there. Might be at the end of its life
Re: AW4 cut out wile driving
I thought so but had to ask. called to c how much it would b to rebuild it and all i can say it Hell no they want more then the things worth lol so probably going to try a JY if no luck I'll just buy a new xj and swap every thing over lol
Re: AW4 cut out wile driving
You could rebuild it yourself. What I think is happening is that it is not maintaining oil pressure. Since it works when cold, I think the oil is getting to thin to keep everything working
Re: AW4 cut out wile driving
I don't know about rebuilding it my self my ADHD don't like automatic transmissions lol tryed to do it once with a t350. I was thinking it was probably a pressure problem cuz its never been rebuilt so its got 300k on it. I just wanted to get a Second opinion without throwing my thoughts into the mix more to test myself.
Re: AW4 cut out wile driving
OK, I think you are there with needing another one then
