My first post, so have mercy on me. I probably shouldn't be here, but my other half has an SL, so here goes. I have the M-B 2.7 Diesel engine and autobox in my 11/03 G/Cherokee (yes, I know, my fault for buying it).
This fault appeared with no warning: start car, noticed that the little lights that illuminate the P,R,N,D adjacent to the gear selector did not illuminate; selected reverse, car reversed; selected D, car went nowhere, but engine revved.
Main Dealer dropped the sump, said the fluid was 'sludgy', refilled it, still the same, said new gearbox required, £7000 fitted thank you very much; I declined their kind offer. Car now with Auto specialist in Fareham who says gearbox ok, it's an electrical problem. Trouble is, he can't trace it.
Has anybody ever come across something similar??
At the moment, I feel like giving it away and going back to my trusty (and reliable) SEC.
Thanks in anticipation.
PS I'm here as there appear to be no Jeep forums in the UK with the level of expertise that you guys have.
