Could that be Mike's Jeep's way of saying she wants a manual gear box? 😉

Love your work. It's looking fantastic.

Good "Great" news. Jeep is enroute home.
Dustin should be here in about an hour :woot:
He did more research and says it looks like a pressure switch issue. Whew
As this wraps up I'll make an album & link to all the pictures I have from March 2020 until today

Well Mike has his jeep back! I’m officially done with my part. He has a few things to wrap up. I.e. heater box, door panels. Transmission is still not right and that really bugs me but it’s out of my wheelhouse. Luckily Mike has found somebody local to him that knows this transmission and can fix the issue that’s inside.
Do you have a really nice jeep Mike I hope you enjoy it!

You need to get the transmission rebuilt. I would not drive it unless you are trying to take it to the shop for a rebuild.

Well I'm back from a month in Colorado.
Beautiful area!
Anyway my 8 has been waiting for a Tran rehab since it dies when you put it in D or R..
I tested the NSS & it's working as it should.
The preferred shop hasn't been taking new customers as they are way backed up.
They don't even answer the phone now.
So off to another shop today.. 20220812_095023.jpg
