'm trying to find out if my transmission is in a healthy state. I have a transmission oil leak, nothing major the tranny cooler lines are seeping tranny oil. I have been keeping on the fluid and the leak until I can get enough money to get it repaired. The fluid is where it should be. Eversince I noticed the leak I started reading up on how to take care of my transmission. I read an article that caught my attention and it was about transmission slippage.
Alittle back I remembered that I was on the highway and it was raining bad and I noticed I was stepping on the gas and the rpms were going high at about 4000 and it wasnt going any faster, I wasn't giving it more gas because it sounded like I was straining the engine already. I was going about 40 mph, which I guess it's 2nd gear going into 3rd. That caught my attention that day but I forgot about it because it never did it again, as far as I noticed, this was the only time it did it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but gears shift from 2000 to 2200 rpms for low gear and 2500 to 3000 for higher gears. Recently I have been checking the fluid and smelling it and everything is fine it doesn't smell burnt or look funny.
Now for the is this a Jeep thing? Ever since I bought the JC Laredo 4.7 V8 I noticed that while going from park to drive or drive to reverse or vice versa sometimes the jeep Jumps or Jerks somewhat, just me stepping on the brakes and going through the shifter not going anywhere. I had a mechanic tell me that Jeeps are known for this. I wanted to know if this was normal and any other thoughts you might have on transmissions.
