Amigo,

Saw that FAQ but with the lack of any fault codes and it only happening on occasion was not sure that was an appropriate solution. if it was the contacts in the selctor would it not do it all the time and also whenever i change the selector?

Similar Problem with 95 Trooper

No help here, but I do have a similar problem. When starting, usually on hill, the transmission slips or almost shutters just slightly and then kicks into gear. Doesn't do it all the time, only occasionally. Taking it to the shop soon so i'll see what they say. Any more comments would be helpful.

Thanks
Jesse

Nothing from transmission guy

Talked with the transmission shop this afternoon and he didn't really offer me any help. He says the fluid looks burnt, which is a sure sign there is a problem in there. Told me I have two options: drive it and hope it works for many more miles or get it rebuild for around $1,800. Not sure if this guy is taking me for a ride or not. He said the transmission doesn't seem to be acting up to him, so he doesn't even have an idea of what is wrong. I am worried I spend $1,800 on a rebuild and it ends up being the rear end or a u-joint.

I guess I'll replace the u-joint first. Always the cheapest fix first and keep your fingers crossed!

Re: Nothing from transmission guy

jesse, thanks for the update. Keep me posted. Traveling next week (w/ the trooper) and then will probably try Amigo's suggestion about the range selector when we get back.

Don't you hate when it doesn't act up for the mechanic?

have you guys checked the fluid level! You can find how in the manual that has been posted here, just do it with the engine running. I can email you the procedure if needed!
