Default TRANSMISSION =(

I have a 95 cherokee 4L 4 wheel drive, the other day i was out 4 wheeling and i guess i hit something hard cuz the next day i went to drive to work and my transmission was acting up, then about 5 minutes later i saw fluids going all over the place on the left side of the engine(facing the car). i checked the tranny fluid level and it was empty and i looked under the car and a line going to my tranny was completely pinched and all the fluids had drained out of the pinched line......WHAT HAPPENED?!

It sounds like you damaged one of your transmission cooler lines that goes to your radiator.

An auto will not work with no fluid. OP, I can't see your picture, but I am going to assume that it is a trans cooler line. Replace the line and refill the transmission, and hope that you didn't destroy it, because transmissions are expensive (but not that complicated...) to repair.

Lucky, I love that trans. But my brother went to school for transmissions and is certified, we have rebuilt a few in the last two months (a Ford C6 and a torqueflite from my friend's Jeep DJ-5)

Don't bother rebuilding an AW4. They are $100 at the junkyard...maybe less.

They are bombproof...so every wreck has a good one and the JY's are loaded with them. I've got a spare in my barn I'd sell for $100 any day of the week and know a guy with another one he's tripping over in his barn.
