Thanks all. Since I assume (yes, I know...) my original TC was replaced when the F37 recall was accomplished, I really hoped there was a way I could tell if they just put another stock one in or a European one. Is there anything anybody else can think of as a way to tell?

Thanks,

Steve

the European version did not become a 'standard' or even available in the US until a couple of years after the F37 was done, odds are heavily against it.

" If at speed using cruise and the "cancel" button is pushed and the vehicle decelerates many mph, when the "resume" button is pushed the rpms climb way up but the vehicle won't accelerate. When at any speed not using cruise and the gas pedal's pushed down hard, the same thing happens: rpms climb but the vehicle doesn't accelerate. " - try turning cruse completely off next time either of these happen and see if acceleration is normal with the go pedal. Report back.

"there've been a few times when we've been driving at normal town speeds and approached a stop sign and, when the vehicle has almost stopped, it "chugs" to a final stop " - unless you have recently done a tranny service do a tranny service with ATF+4 fluid only and either OEM or WIX filters. Report back. If you have done a tranny service recently did you use correct fluid/filters, if not redo, if you did ignore tranny fluid level on dipstick and add 1qt ATF+4. Report back.


Here's the report back about the above problems:

As it was time to do so anyway, I changed the trans filter and fluid this weekend. As recommended, I added one quart past the normal "full hot" point. Both problems I discussed now seem to be gone. I haven't checked for any codes since doing the service, but will when I can. I'll keep an eye on the trans' performance and report back if the problems reappear. GREATLY appreciate the advice that's been given!

Update:

Since that first "fix", my trans had performed flawlessly. This past weekend I:

1. Removed the FCV and installed the Sasquatch Motorsports intake elbow, and
2. Installed Etecno 5v glowplugs and the required control module, and
3. Installed a GDE Ecotune via their flash programmer tool I purchased

After installing the tune, I cleared the stored codes and went on a 250-mile roundtrip drive. The engine ran VERY well with no check-engine light, and the trans shifted as it should. Using the tool, I verified there were no stored codes. Yesterday, after driving approx. 50 miles, the check-engine light came on, but the Jeep still ran well and the trans still shifted with no problems. I later downloaded a P0700 code, cleared it, cranked the engine again, and the check-engine light remained on. Today, after getting back from the dealer where I had my speedometer corrected for larger tires, I added approx. another 1/2 quart of trans fluid, cleared the P0700 code, and took it for another drive. The trans shifted well, and no check-engine light came on. Looks like the trans fluid level was once again the culprit, but I'll keep an eye on things still.
