That's right. It's also under a TSB to fix defective transmission filters causing the problem. How old is your Jeep? If you haven't got the F37 recall done, mention this problem as they need to replace your transmission filters.

Sounds like you a dealer problem and got some shoddy recall work done. Not to rub it in but mine is running flawlessly since the F37. Shifts and drives like a completely different vehicle.

Sounds like they only put in the 1.25 quarts of tranny fluid as the F37 says to do, problem is that is about a 1/3 of the amount required and you could be 2 to 3 quarts low. Check your trans fluid hot (10 mile rnd trip) with it in park and it shoud be at the top edge of the hot mark.

Has anyone else noticed a major difference when comparing a HOT tranny level check to a warm tranny check. The regular 10 mile easy drive gives a level full reading for me. But if I have been pulling a load it reads overfull, I have only got to check this once so it could be a fluke I suppose.

The tranny cooler will be keeping the fluid cooler then you expected is probably the reason. When checking tranny fluids hot, it means hot almost like the engine oil. I use the 10 mile run also for checking, but have the O/D off to have the RPM's up and help heat the fluid in the cooler days. You have to have a normal heat range and that is why you check it hot w/o towing so that there is room for further expansion w/o damaging tranny. They plan for that when designing the tranny.
