dang I came in here expecting to make fun of certain peoples arguing over accessorys and the like.

Did you hit a coyote? I did once,trans made a funny noise as well.

Does the Trans slip at all?? Does it slip while changing gears?? If it were just a noise w/ no vibration I would think it maybe to be the front shaft bearing. If its not slipping, your trans is prolly ok...

If its vibratring or hesitating or perhaps vibrating in and out in overdrive and other gears, I think your right on your first assumption... Sounds like a torque converter... 8)

Gunn,

I can say that the 1st tranny lasted me 100K that was on my 93 Grand Cherokee. That sound you hear is indeed the torque converter. Most common failure. You can get a rebuilt one from the dealer installed for about 1500-1800. With a full 36K mile warranty and 2 years. I put another 80 K on it and towed a boat and a trailor for work before moving to a different car.

I can say I'll buy another jeep, was the best dang car I've owned.

yea but if you had a toyot it would still be pulling trailers at 200,000 everything but clutch belts starter and timing chain original. ok and muffler.

i dearly loved my jeep but they are crap.

buy a toyota just as made in america as the crysler.

hell you can buy one as old as your jeep and still get more life out if it that the new jeep. you just cant beat um.

I'm a professional transmission builder, give me some more information and i might can help you. And no it's not the converter. And vader the worst transmissions jeep has ever used WERE made by Toyota.

sorry should have been more specific. I was referring to the plymouth emblem.

I changed the gear oil when I changed all the hoses/belts plugs/wires 3 months ago.

Zmeg, I have the cab cover off on the inside and I can place my hand on the tranny while revving and I feel a vibration. When I rev it I hear a low pitch wine that sounds like a gear wine. It happens in all gears and in idle. Recently I when and Retourqed all the bolts connecting the tranny to the engine and flywheele to drive plate. This seemed to fix it for about 10 seconds then it came back.

Here's the other half of my delema....on the bell house is the Crank Position Sensor (CPS). It reads notches in the flyweel and sends timing adjustments to the computer. Well I'm not sure if this is working right either cause I get a lot of vibration from the tranny. Its like they both are contributing to the problem.

what model/year are you driving?

if it is time to replace the tansmision, here's a good place to start. I saw this sight recomended on the jeep forums, I don't have any personal experience with them as far as quality or service, but it would give you a quick idea what kind of cost to expect http://www.rebuilt-auto-transmissions.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_main.html?catid=31

Its a 93 wrangler with an Inline 4.0 I've checked out alot of the jeep forums but as soon as the people there hear automatic....they start pulling there hair out running away screaming somthing
