Welp, my transmission looks to be going in for a major repair. A month or so ago, I took the Liberty in for an oil change and the shop recommended a transmission fluid change. Apparently that didn't go well, because the transmission started revving high and not shifting up to the final gear. After a little back and forth and taking it over to the dealership, the dealership service put some detergent in to hopefully clean out a sticking solenoid. So, after a few weeks, it still hasn't fixed it and now it is getting worse. I dropped it off this morning and just got the news. $519 for the part $1050 total (parts and service) The part might take a week to come in. I have to pre-pay for the part. Ugh. I didn't plan on getting rid of the Liberty, just getting a new commuter car. It has 135k miles on it. So, I guess I'll just be holding off a new car purchase for another three months after the end of the year. |

thats the part about autos i hate, always vulnerable right after a fluid change as the pump re-primes the only abnormality that mine has done in the last 40k is on two occasions, it seemed to get stuck between 1st and 2nd gear while coasting, and when i went to re accelerate it appeared to be in neither but when i backed off the gas it shifted its gettin time for me to pay dan a visit and get a slush change what 'part' did they end up sayin it was? Wouldn't cost a bunch more than that to order a new/refurb and install it our dang selves, is it a 42 or a 45?? |

He said solenoid, I don't have the part number in front of me. Yeah, transmission, not something I want to mess around with myself. Apparently it might take 3 weeks or more for the part to come in. |

give dan a call at (919) 577-1055 and get him to reference that part and the labor involved and see what his figure is, seems awful high just for the selenoid, although i know they can be pricey may be one of those things where you can save 300 bucks by ordering it yourself at the least |

If you can figure the part number out, I can check the dealers around here and see if they have it in stock to save you some time. |

Why would you take a transmission out, repair one item, and not the entire assembly? You have 135000 miles on those clutches, the pump, etc. Or is someone rebuilding your transmission for $1100? Dean and I have never seen eye to eye, so I think that's why he's more comfortable sending his transmission to the dealership than to a reputable independant transmission repai shop that is also a Jeep guy... Hopefully it's all done and finished by now, but I can tell you that I have never had to wait 3 weeks for a part... |

Daniel, It isn't that we don't see eye to eye, it is more that the Liberty is my daily driver and it wouldn't save me any money if I had to rent a car of days while you repaired it. It is getting repaired today. If my transportation needs were more flexible, then I wouldn't mind dropping it off with you. |
