Transmission slipping

[howbobert]

We have a 1997 Jeep Wrangler. It has an automatic transmission and it is starting to slip between 2 and 3 gear. The fluid is full. I am hoping that is just an adjustment and not a total rebuild. Is there any shop around the Dayton area that anyone can recommend?

Thanks in advance.

When was its last service?

 

[howbobert]

Not really sure. We bought it not too long ago. The person we bought it from did take care of it fairly well, oil and what not. But I am not sure if the trans was serviced properly or when.

It is just some thing that I noticed the last week or so.

I did give it a good tune up (plugs, rotor, cap, wires, air cleaner) recently and the TPS was going bad on it and replaced that.

Sounds about right to start having tranny issues in a 1997. The 1999 Jeep trannies usually last past 200K miles, but not the 1997.

I recently junked my 97 Jeep. I still have my 1999.

Thanks. Not what I really wanted to hear. Now I guess I just have to find someone to take it to and have them look it over.

My '94 went 250K before it was totalled by my daughters ahole BF. I have a fondness for those Jeeps. Its very easy to do a filter & fluid on those, And as I recall, they don't use the expensive +4 fluid. And you don't need to buy the Mopar stuff either.
Good luck.
