I posted in the Jeep Forum with no answer so I'll let you guys give this a try.
I've searched all over this board and can't find the answer.
Basics:
'95 YJ 4.0L/Stock Auto trans/NP231 w/SLE 1TonCV drive shaft
SOA front D60 rear 14-bolt 5.13r/p 36 TSL-SXs
Got the project off the jackstands early spring and I've been wheeling all summer. Last weekend at Kelly Flats (Heart Attack Hill) the tranny started acting up.
Problem: When climbing steep angles in 4-Low (past about 45 degrees) the transmission drops out and I roll back. It'll catch again when the angle reduces but drops out again when I get into the climb. Same thing happened in Carnage Canyon on Sunday. Fluid levels are fine.
Anybody have an idea what's wrong before I tear into the tranny?
Thanks in advance.
