Default AW4 tranny died

Hey guys,

Went to Gilbert last weekend and on the way back my transmission died. Was leaking where the drivetrain connects to the tranny - was a major leak. some smoke and burning smells also.

Had to get towed to Virginia and was stranded for a night - had to tow it back 3hrs.

anyway I could had done this wheeling? Is the tranny fried?

I was told they work off of fluid pressure - no fluid no go - add fluid and repair the seal - maybe it will work again?

Right. No fluid, no movement. You can try replacing the seal, filling 'er up and seeing what you have.
