What could it be, has anyone fixed this yet. I saw it on the other forum but no one knew what causes it and about everyone other person that posted had the problem.

I just got a tranny fluid change with filter and pan gasket and it still does it, I thought maybe it was slipping.

Unfortunately it was was Mopar ATF +4 lets see how it goes noone seems to be a fan of it on this forum.

FYI it occurs in automatics 4wd and 2 wheel drive versions

if you need clarification of my question/problem just ask and ill try to better explain.

If your trans was slipping you'd notice by jumping RPM's while accelling or hearing the engine suddenly rev up and then "catch." Have you jacked it up yet and shook it down?

People seem to not like idea of putting ATF +4 fluid into the Aw4

Tried but nothing moved my trans and motor mount are pretty old but idk if that is the issue, only thing was that the tc linkage had some wiggle room from side to side, mmm the out put shaft from tc has a little play but nothing signifigant.

Bump for new suspect.

I have play in the front slip-yoke, not the ujoint and as well as being able to move my tranny/transfer case from side to side about 2-3inches in each direction what you think ?
