Transmission Problem
40

Asked by Brian Jul 08, 2015 at 07:46 AM about the 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X v6 3.8L and noticed that I started to have problems with my car last night. When I left a store and put the car in reverse, I had to get the rpms up to 2k before it would jump / move. Then I shifted to drive and it did the same thing until I got moving above 25 mph. When I got back home I was not able to even move my car in neutral. I check my trans fluid and added half a quart, wasn't that low. The problem still persists. I also place the car in neutral and could not even move it (by pushing it). There are no check engine lights or any kinds of errors showing up. Any suggestions?

Did you check the level and condition of the fluid in the transfer case?

Did you ever find a response or reason for this? My 2008 just started doing the same thing. It just came from the shop. Had to replace transmission cooler lines and cooler. The cooler is part of the A/C condenser coil, not the radiator.
