2000 Jeep Cherokee Transmission Q&A

  • What can I tow in a Jeep? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Cherokee towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system.

  • When should I have my Cherokee's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Jeep Cherokee’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed.
