315 miles down and 1415 to go with a sketchy torque converter and tranny. Wish me luck and say a prayer to the i70 gods for me. |

388 miles in. Just got my first tank of diesel. 23.9 mpg. So far shifting is just a little weird. TC hasn't shuddered or lockuped and stalled the jeep today. Traffic is light, I got an empty bladder, a full soda, and an empty pee jug when the time is right |

About 20 miles east of Columbia mo. No major trouble. Decided to stop for the night. Hopefully tomorrow is as uneventful. |

About 800 miles to go. Back on the road after a few hours nap. Transmission did some weird slippy things as I got on the interstate, and the shifting is still goofy. But otherwise I'm doin fine. |

Glad to hear you made it back in one piece. I think I will refer to you as the transmission whisperer. |

Maybe you should take the transmission into the shower with you - clean that thing up.
