    45rfe Hard Shifting

    A follow up on this: It’s been several months and I pretty much gave up on this issue until today. I wasn’t getting a diagnosis from any shop including dealer. They all said everything is fine and that the hard shift may be due to something internal that they’d have to inspect by a tear...

    Question on re-gearing

    I don’t know what prices are there, but here in Fort Worth, I got quoted 1000 to do front and rear to 4.10. He said the opposite-that 4.10 is easier. Anything above that would need a new carrier. I’ve been saving for it, and just in time...my front diff is starting to make weird noises! I...

    Driveline mystery noise

    I’ve had this noise I’ve been trying to figure out for a couple months. It’s a cyclic low-pitched rubbing/grinding sound. It’s not a clicking sound. Speed dependent-doesn’t really change pitch, just “rotates” faster. A lot of related posts about front driveline noises seem to lead to CVs...

    45rfe Hard Shifting

    I really want to get this thing healthy before I do a lift and tires. My front skid plate scoops up way too much mud!

    45rfe Hard Shifting

    Following up with this again... it's been a few months and after avoiding driving habits that cause the bad shifts, it's gotten more prevalent. Now it does it every upshift after kick-down in any gear. Also, I've isolated a knocking sound coming from somewhere near the bell housing. This just...

    45rfe Hard Shifting

    Another shop tells me a shift collar is probably going out. I honestly don't know what that means in an automatic-I know nothing about them. Has anyone had experiences with the input or output speed sensor on the transmission going out? I suspect it may be failing since the harsh shift is not...

    45rfe Hard Shifting

    I checked in myself before I took it in to them, and it looked fine to me, as far as the color and they didn't say anything about it. I'll have to double check on the level though when I get home. Since I don't know when it was done, I should probably change the fluid in the diffs and...

    45rfe Hard Shifting

    Thanks for the replies! I'll have to check out a relearn procedure after possibly adding some more ATF+4. Got the Jeep back today and the shop said everything was fine. They said "it's shifting exactly as the computer says it should". No codes or anything. Seems to me that these hard shifts...

    45rfe Hard Shifting

    I have heard about the relearning procedure, although I'm not sure if it needs to be done by a dealer. I hope not. I just checked the fluid last night. It's nice and red and doesn't smell burnt from what I can tell. I didn't notice any deposits in it. I'm taking it over to the shop today to...

    45rfe Hard Shifting

    Just bought a very clean '02 Limited 4x4 w/selec track last month. I'm new to these forums, and actually I've never even posted in any car forum before. I only google search and just read posts to figure out my car problems. I come from Miata ownership so this is a new world for me. I'm...
