Cheech Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Well, I've had the MJ for about a year and a half now and when I put it into reverse, it drops in really hard. It has done this since I've owned it. It drops into Drive somewhat firmly but nothing like the way it slams into reverse. Its an 86 2.5L with the 3 speed auto.

Geonovast Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Sounds like an AX-5 swap is in order. :yes: Have you tried putting any additives into it? The lucas trans fix stuff is supposed to work really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Checked your U-joints lately? Also rear gears? Rob L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1974CJ5 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Is the 86 carbureted? (can't remember) if it is, your curb idle could be a little strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyway to bring the idle speed down to see if that makes any difference. Its TBI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
