Got a question about my trans (aw4). Ever since I got the xj alittle bit ago I have noticed that the trans will shift pretty hard going from P to D or R. It only happens when its up to operating temp. When its started after sitting over night the P to D or R is fine. Is there a possibility theres a transgo kit in it? Or you think the tranny has a problem? The thing shifts great going down the road, as a matter of fact it shifts pretty firm and that is why im wondering if there possibly might be a transgo kit in there to change the shift pressures?
I guess what im asking is, with a transgo kit will it shift from P to D without "feeling" it when the tranny is cold but when its warm it will "clunk" in to D or R? Just wondering if the tranny is about ready to **** the bed.....

 

All the "top notch" knowledge on this site and no replys? SWEET! I guess some of you are too busy bashing other posts....l

 

Or know body knows the answer, local boy...

Im right up the road from ya.

 

My trans does the same thing. No trans kit installed. Don't know if its normal, never gives me any other issues. Has 296K on it and its a 2wd AW4.

 

Thanks guys! I figured Id get some replys from that...hahaha

 

you sure it only does it when its warm? sounds like universal joints to me. s

 

What the heck is the transgo kit? Maybe that's why no one is responding.

 

Hey neighbor!

 

"shift kit"

 

Yeah. I will sit over night, start it in the morning throw it in D no problem. Get to work, throw it in R to back into a space and it clunks, slams....<----what ever you want to call it.....I dont know, Ill check the universals

 

i would definatly try to eliminate something simple first. and a shift kit usualy will be more for all gears and you would know it. the guy that taught me how to rebuild loved to put them in 4l60e trans (gm) (replaced the 700r4) (same thing as a 700r4 just electronical controled) (sorry about all the parentheses) for that 1-2 shift to make it feel like the rear tires are going to run over the front.

 

Thanks! Simple fixes are always the better ones for sure!
