My Daughters 98 4.0 LHD Wrangler (Auto 2" spring lift, 2" spacer lift and 1' body lift) is having transmission issues. My tranny knowledge is non existant but willing to try anything twice.
it seems during the last wheeling venture, my daughters Jeep had kicked itself into 2wd while she was in mud lake, three times had to be towed from 3 foot of muddy water (shifter linkage hitting the floorpan since the last lift)
A bad intake connection sucked the lake into her transmission. Didn't find out till later in the day. We drained the tranny flushed it and changed the filter . total of three times now.
Ended up that it couldn't take off in drive, had to drop it down to 2 or throw it into neutral then back into drive in order for the vehicle to go forward properly.
Following day on the way home from work, she couldn't switch it in and out of gears like that, and it sounded like it was racing and barely moving forward at all. At the next stop, (10 feet from the first) she was able to get it to shift 2nd to D to get it to work, but this time, it didn't. No matter what gear it was it in, the Jeep was in wouldn't . move and had to be towed home.
Any suggestions to how I can help get this back on the road. Her Boyfriend has purchased a rebuild kit for it, but I am hoping we missing something before it gets torn down?
Does this sound like A NSS issue like the GC in the adjacent thread. Or is the water a step in the other direction?
Cheers. . Martyn

The transmision has an old fashioned hydraulic control, the NSS will only stop the engine starting. If the oil and filter are good, and it still wont drive, it's broken.
