Not really a big problem, just annoying. Anyways, whenever i go from park to reverse on my 96 xj (aw-4) or reverse to drive, it slams it into gear and moves the whole jeep. I have to have my foot firmly on the brake or I'll roll whichever direction it wants to go. Also, just randomly, it will hardhift from 1st to 2nd gear, and 2nd to 3rd. Its never in a pattern just randomly. I recently changed the tranny fluid and filter which helped. Fluid is staying level, but its just annoying. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

 

I just bought a 94 and have something similar going on. Anybody know what it is?

 

Mine does this, too. I like it.

 

it seems like it might be somewhat normal, mine does it too

 

Maybe its just the massive amount of torque being applied.

 

Pry normal, but you could check you driveshaft ujoints too, they might be getting sloppy.

 

mine is the same.....

 

I dont mean to threadjack but does yall's make a noise when its in gear and then stop when you take it out? i'm new the the aw-4 and i dont know if this is normal or something i need to address. thanks guys.

 

my trans mount looks shot... this could also be the culprit.....
