Oh yeah, when was the last time you serviced the tranny? and how many miles between servicing? Is it possible you might have gotten water in it? even condensation?

3.73 gears and 31" tires, fairly conservative.
It happens on flat road. "RocknTJ" > wrote in message newsV0rd.369487$a85.267148@fed1read04... > > What gears do you have? > What size tires do you have? > > Is this happening on an incline or flat driving? |

I would change out all the fluid and replace the filter, for both of you. Make sure you use the correct fluid, not generic fluid. Then see what happens. I didn't have a problem with my TJ. --James "CJ5 on 35's" > wrote in message ups.com... > my f150 does the same thing, for about 15k miles now. > |
