I have a 03 Rubicon 5 speed with to many miles on it. No lift &#61516; only modds so far have been rock sliders and skid plates. Re: Transmission failing ?

Most everything is sealed I moved all the axle vents up onto the roll bars over my head not that they should ever need to be that high up <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> Ok well I will flush her out again.

The only thing I could do at the time was hit the gas and try to get over to the right as fast as I could. I had planned to go into the river just not that side. Trust me I ripped most of the cloth of my seat doing that. But in the end it was allot of fun you just can't see the hart attack I am having. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> Re: Transmission failing ? [Re: fidgit] #670345 11/26/05 08:57 PM Anonymous Unregistered You might want to flush it a couple times with the cheapo kregan stuff that's the right viscosity then put in the expensive stuff. Just put it in, take it easy for 10 miles, then drain it and do it again. The only difference between the cheapo stuff and the good stuff is the additives. So if you have a little bit of the crappy stuff with no water, it is a lot better than the expensive stuff with water.
