p0700 code

[yewtree]

my kj has given a code p0700 which i have checked out and know its something to do with the transmition, this is how it happened, up untill now the kj has pulled very well, went to collect our caravan today to get it ready for a long weekend next week, when i was driving home it is as tho the clutch is slipping like on a manual gear box, revs up but only doing about 10mph, managed to get home and parked the caravan up and noticed a small puddle of transmition oil under the box, the oil is seaping out of the bell housing, i know the gear box will have to come off but has anyone got any tips of what the problem might be

thanks phil

Front pump seal or torque converter. Or both.

done fluid and filter change and not leaking at all, but the gearbox is slipping more now, been looking on youtube today and some of the symptoms seem to surgest bands are loose and need tightening up, i know they need to be tightened to 8 newton meters but cants fugure out how many turns back i need to do, some say 2&7/8 some say 2&1/4

any help would be great

thanks phil

changed my gearbox today, and changed oil + filter, however it is quite harsh changing from 1st to 2nd after that it runs very smooth, is there anything else i need to do, do i need to get the box calibrated.

thanks phil

Needs to get a relearn done! Have a dealership do it or take it back to the place where you got the box swapped.

just done a google search, found Computer Relearn Procedures it tells you what you nee to do after a service hope this works.

Per TJKJ2002 a few years ago, but still holds true:

"The correct way is via a DRBIII or StarScan(year based),and some of the higher end scanners like from OTC and Snapon will do the relearn. Takes less then 60 seconds via a OEM/high end scanner and is done correctly and safely. No driving involved, no battery disconnect, heck the engine is off but the key is in the "run" selection."

This is essentially what the Jeep Service Manual says, as well.

jeep all sorted now, runs like a dream and the slight judder from the engine has also sorted its self out.

thanks for all advice
