Question:

Transmission Problems?????

My transmission makes a rattling noise whenever idling in reverse or drive. It also is beginning to shake around 15-20mph. Anything over and the car is fine. I checked the trans. fluid and it is a greyish brown color. Any advice on what the problem is and how to correct it?(Note: I drive a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with a 4.0L inline 6 cylinder engine with about 129,000miles on it and an automatic transmission with less than 40,000 miles)

Answer:

i own a repair shop,,and if its a grayish brown color something is wrong with it,,that's the color it turns when the bands and clutches are burning out of it you need to take it in and have it looked at that's not good for a transmission with just 40 k on it,,there's something wrong,,and its beyond your ability to repair this one,,unless your a transmission mechanic,,id take it and have a good mechanic look at it and drive it,and see what they say is happening to it,it does have something going wrong with it good luck i hope this help,s.
sorry, the tranny is shot, you will need to have it repaced. it will be dear, bye the bye did the fluid smell burnt?
Your tranny is shot. The grey color is the surface of your bands disolved (ie metal flakes!). Get it in before you need to be towed in. Sorry for the bad news.
Superconductors block magnetic fields. This is called the Meissner effect.
