Post subject:  Tranny acting picky.

ok so, i have an 04 so im assuming i have the 42RLE shoved under there, and from reading its the weaker of the two put on the KJ. just wanted to ask this and see if anything other then it simply being how it is.

i get in a certain situation when im stuck in traffic, which is a lot around DC on 95. anyway, i tap the gas and the rpm's hit about 1.1k. when i let off the gas, the rpm's stick there for say, 3-4 seconds, then the jeep does a little lurch and it goes down again to idle. feels like the tranny, and idk if its just the nature of the beast, or if its something to be paranoid about. :juggle:

i already have the hunting issues going up hills, or when needing to floor it to pass someone, but this just got me thinking about it too much. not sure how long its been since the fluid has been flushed. with 63k on it i would imagine that would need looking into?

if a flush is in order, and i take it to a shop, is there anything i need to tell them specifically, like fluid to use or the amount? id do it myself but disposing of the stuff is a pain around here.

sorry for the multiple questions, but i figure id get them all in on one thread for everyones sake, thanks!

I had a similar issue with my KJ, it would seem to get almost stuck in overdrive and didn't want to come out unless you mashed the gas. Is your KJ lifted? Because I only had this issue after I installed my lift and added my 245/74/R16 tires. I had a pinion reset AKA shift point reset, and it resolve the issue perfectly! :BANANA: Seems with the added lift and tires the jeep had no idea when to shift!! Just a thought

while im not lifted yet, thats definitly something to remember when i do get to it. but if thats the case then at least im right to point fingers at the trans. last thing i want is to have it quit on me on the highway :|

I'm sure its something you gotta take to the dealership or atleast a good shop..
I need to go in for a tranny fluid and filter change too. Should i take it to the dealership or just have a small shop do it?

Only a dealer can do the reset.
