hey guys so ive been really having a shi%ty week with my cherokee, i had a batterty type of issue, then my ignition switch and now yes now is my damn transmission. transmission pump is fukt... it runs but doesnt move. so i need an opinion i love my jeep, but im debating if its worth it, should i get a new transmission or just a new car. ive never been in this situation, im calling tomorrow to price transmissions and im gonna compare but i kno yall kno yer jeeps thru thick and thin. so wuts up?

 

you have checked the fluid i hope?

 

yea i def checked it, it looked alittle funny but wasnt brown. i dont kno much bout it but i dont think the whole trans is shot, i think the pump just went up, kinda hoping id get lucky but i still dunno... transmissions just arent my thing.

 

details on the jeep to help decide:
any new replacements? year? mileage? etc...

Personally, if it acceptable year/mileage and have a few new parts - i would go down to the yard, pay $200 and get another one - pick-n-pull has warranty on their stuff - gauranteed to work when you pull it or they exhancge it/refund it
or take it to ammco transmission and pay $2500 installed for a 2 year warranty

 

I'm having a pump going out on my gf 96. When you shift it into gear nothing happens, then finally it slams into gear and then your off with the trans not wanting to upshift.

I'm pretty sure the pump is inside the trans and best bet would be a junkyard one

 

You could just have a bad torque convertor. Most of the time at least in my experience pumps will start to whine when they are going bad. I am no expert on transmissions though.

 

im sticking with a def bad pump, it makes sense, but i dont kno crap bout it. my jeep has been nickle and dimeing me lately, i love the jeep for the wintertime fun but the gas i spend for it isnt really worth it.... so i think im gonna give up the jeep.

 

96 cherokee sport 4.0 6cyl no new replacements really, august i got my oil done and brakes...

 

Driving conditions? ie weather, off road, high way, towing etc
Original owner?
Miles?
