Re: Blew up my Tranny today!!!!
ok....here is how it happened...if anyone has any suggestions....feel free to lend me your advice.
I was driving on the street...and I started to accelerate (after already driving all morning). It felt like I was in neutral when I steped on the gas. I indeed was in drive. (I have an automatic by the way),.
I tried 2nd....same thing....then 1st...same thing.....I then noticed smoke puring out of the side. I pulled over and put in in park. At that point I heard grinding (like if you put a manual into gear without having the clutch all the way in. I left a trail of tranny fluid about 20 feet behind me. I think the smoke was just coming from the fluid dripping on the exaust. I checked the tranny fluid on the dip stick....and there was what seemed to be an adequete amount on that. I towed it home. I then started it and pulled it forward and back a couple times and it seemed ok....but THAT IS IT!!! I didn't drive it at all.
Sooooo......any thoughts? Blown Line? Blown transmission

Ah Jeeps I love them so .... What year is your jeep ? 87- 93 came with the french gay ****** made peugot tranny ; even with 4.88 its not mafde to handle the load ; mid 92 began a T series similar to chevy s10 ,I forget the exact name as it has been 2-3 years ,If you flush the tranny altogether and it runs you may have just blown the slave cylinder if its pre 89?(internal) save some cash and you can do a chevy tranny conversion for about 900$ plus the tranny/b sorry if thats what you dont want to hear

Re: Blew up my Tranny today!!!!
It is a '95.....I am gonna do a flush and see what that goes. After I got it home...it hasn't leaked again. I drove it around the block and it seemed ok.....but there is definetly water in the reserve. We will see though......god this will suck if I need a new Tranny.....
