Final ShoTs

This past weekend while out wheeling I cracked my week plastic radiator down the side. I replaced it, but a couple hours later I realized that the lower transmission line was leaking fluid and bfore I knew it I was completely drained. I investigated and figured it was just an o-ring since the old was was broken apart.

I drive to work today and now transmission fluid is sprayed all along the driverside of my car and the heater is blowing hrd out of the defrost! Where do I start?!

If the heater will only blow out of the defrost then you have a vacuum leak somewhere which is why that happens.

I would wash the underside, fix the o-ring, fill it up with fluid and drive it till it dies, at which point replace the transmission. Its not a smart idea to drive it while leaking trans fluid cause it will just kill it quicker

I already replaced the o-ring, but can anybod else besides this f****** retard ^^^ give me better advice than kill my transmission and replace it because of one leaking hose?

TheJerm

You didnt say you replaced the o-ring.

How about you find the leak and fix it. Driving with low tranny fluid will damage the it. Its not rocket science

More then likely you already answered your own question. The lines on these jeeps are known for leaking. Just figure out which line is leaking and replace it. Its hard to say with out looking at it. But remember it goes From the trans. to radiator then radiator back to trans. Clean it up and investigate.

TheJerm is more then likely correct on the heating issue. Look under the dash for the accuator see if anything is off (seeing as you were wheeling)

Good luck it can be very frustrating.

He wasn't suggesting that you purposely kill your trans, but rather, continue driving it WITH fluid until it fails. The AW4 is a pretty robust trans and usually lasts at least as long as the engine. Provided you've repaired your leak, and haven't already damaged the trans, it should last a while.
