Well don't bog anymore just slips really bad and never did before water got in it. I didn't drive it after water got in it and didn't slip a lick before so why would it slip now

Some friction materials used in auto trans (clutch plates, bands, etc) don't play well with water. I don't know if this applies to the AW4 or not.

From what I understand, water is pretty hard on the friction linings (dissolves the glue that bonds them together, I believe). I did a bit of searching. Here's one article: http://quality-trans.com/wp-content/...1/11/water.pdf

Once when I changed my filter mine slipped really bad and popped into neutral randomly. After a bunch of trouble shooting and other bull**** I found out that the intake boss on the new filter(crappy Chinese one) was a mm or two too short. It wasn't able to suck the fluid up. Just an idea.

Dan91 makes a valid point. Where did you get your filter? What brand?
MOPAR filters from the dealer aren't that expensive. If you don't have a Chrysler dealer around you you may want to use a Wix filter. I think O'reilly has them.

What ATF did you put in your AW4 when you changed it? Did you just drain 3-4 quarts of ATF out of the pan then refill the same amount?
