So I searched this forum and didn't really find anything that matches my problem so I thought I would post a new thread. I have a 02 KJ Limited with the 45RFE transmission with about 95k miles. It started hard shifting between 2nd and 3rd gears under normal load, but not to bad. It has slowly gotten worse and now when shifting from 2nd to 3rd it slips and then hard shifts. The hard shift is also now between 3rd and 4th gear. Also when I back out of my driveway and shift from R to D it either shifts hard or slips. But if I shift to N first for a second or two then D there is no issue. So am I looking at a new transmission or rebuild, or is it something simpler. Thanks for any help or advise.
UPDATE WITH REPAIR INFO:
So my KJ is still under warranty through the dealership I purchased it at, and took it in to get it looked at. First they told me they scanned the computer and got two fault codes.
P0700 - Internal TCM
P0870 - OD Hydraulic Pressure Test Failure
However I had no check engine light on when I took it in or ever. They told me it was a bad hydraulic line pressure sensor and they replaced it.
So if anyone is have similar issues as I was might want to have this checked out.
