Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY JEEP BEGAN MAKING NOISES WHEN DECELERATING. THE DEALER FOUND BEARING PARTS, AND BEARING CASINGS IN THE TRANSMISSION PAN, AND TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS ISN'T NECESSARILY A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT I SEE SO MANY REPORTS OF 1998 JEEP TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, HOW DO I KNOW MINE IS NOT DEFECTIVE AS WELL ? I HAVE CONSULTED AN INDEPENDANT TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST. HIS OPINION STATES THAT THIS TRASNMISSION SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED LIKE THIS WITH AT 43000 MILES.*AK
