This question is about a Jeep, but a lot of later model Mopars used this same tranny, so the question spans.....
97 Jeep Wrangler, 4 cyl, A904 automatic. I bought this Jeep yesterday with the assumption that the trans was bad. I've driven this thing probably 150 miles so far and the transmission shifts fine. It upshifts smoothly, downshifts smoothly....it runs great EXCEPT......when I start from a dead stand still and step on it pretty hard, it will shudder about 3 or 4 times before it takes off. If you drive it normally, it does fine........when it hits a little torque on a hard takeoff is the only time it does it....it just hit me, could it possibly be a broken trans mount?? I haven't even looked at that!!.....anyway, I went this morning and bout a new filter and new fluid, I was gonna try that, it does have 111,000 miles on it and I have no way of telling if the trans has ever been serviced.
Any Ideas?
