If this jeep is listed correctly, as a 1996 jeep Cherokee country then the correct transmission fluid would be Mercon or Dexron III . this is the correct fluid, Also if you remove the transmission dip stick and wipe it and look at the stick it will say dexron III. good day
Check your transmission fluid level to make sure the appropriate amount of fluid is in. Some transmissions will **** or cut the vechicle off if not enough fluid is in the transmission.
Hi, There is more than one transmission that goes into one of the Jeeps of your year. Try taking down the Vin# and call a local dealer. They will not only tell you what transmission you have they will also tell you how to deal with the fluid question and - also ask about RECALLS and SERVICE BULLETINS. Thanks Gary @ Fix Ya
Well there is always 2 options; You can flush it which would be around $150-$250 depending on the shop, or you can do what we refer to as a spill and fill, the transmission pan is removed and the filter is changed, normally $100-$200. The flush removes all the the fluid in your transmission, and trans cooler (about 12 Quarts). The other option only removes about 4 quarts of the transmission fluid and is not very effective.
Transmission oil in the radiator: Suspect you may also have water in transmission.
Likely culprit is the transmission has a small line that runs transmission fluid thru the radiator to cool the transmission fluid. It is supposed to be a closed system. Sounds like your radiator failed. Would expect with this kind of failure, you should replace and not repair the radiator. Then you need to flush and replace fluid & filter in transmission.
you need to tighten those fittings with a wrench... if they still leak... remove them and wrap them with a couple turns of "teflon tape" the kind they use for plumbing. the clamps you should use are hose clamps of the same type that you use for radiator hoses... you will note these can be tightened with a socket.... you really don't need to over tighten them but fairly snug... transmission fluid has quite alot of pressure.
Generally it will be in your owners manual, and some or stamped on the actual dip stick, any autoparts store will know the specific kind, and it is generally on the fluid containers also. Hope this helps.
First things first...check your fluids! Automatic trans. fluid : park brake applied, engine running in park, check dip stick. Fluid should be at full mark and brite red with no smell of burn. Report back with fluid condtions, a little leg work goes a long ways...
