Hey Guys

I have a 2002 tj2 executive manga with 4 speed tippy tranny.

I have noticed for a while that when going into fourth gear it clunks into gear violently sometimes and accelerating on highway and kicking down to third clunks too. Is my transmission on the way out gonna get it serviced soon.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

When was the fluids last changed? What colour are they? If brown or going black, time for a power flush I think? Mine did this till it went a for a tranny flush at mitsi

from wat i've read from many posts with people having similar problems, will need a tranny flush. $160 from a mitsi dealer

im sure ya could drain and replace for $45 if ya do it ya self

Yes you could "drain and replace yourself" and then do absolutely nothing towards fixing it

Any mits dealer can do a flush properly as can I and we can tell a lot about the trans with what comes out of the trans

How do u flush it properly then, Does a mitsi dealer just drain it and blow air through it or???? I'm thinking of doing my it myself on both my magna's

undo the bottom plate under the gear box its about 20 odd bolts to undo...when that plate drops so will all the tranny fluid

As Madmagna said, a drain and replace will not do anything.

When you drain a transmission you don't actually get much of the old fluid out. A flush gets more old fluid out and means that a higher percentage of your transmission fluid is new.

I wouldn't recommend doing it at home. I recently paid $200 to have my transmission flushed and was very happy to do so. When you think that they may use 3+ containers of transmission fluid to properly flush the system, $200 seems like a pretty good deal.
