What Does Your Jeep CJ7 Transmission Do?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your CJ7’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Jeep CJ7 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Jeep CJ7 transmission problems linger and your could suffer a loss in fuel efficiency or find that your CJ7 isn’t working at all.

1985 Jeep CJ7 Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Jeep? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Jeep? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your CJ7’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your CJ7 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my CJ7's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Jeep CJ7’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Jeep's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Jeep CJ7? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Jeep CJ7, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Where can I get my  Jeep CJ7 transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for CJ7 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Jeep CJ7 if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your CJ7 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
