Well I finally got my tranny fluid and filters changed on my 04 WJ 4.7 2WD over a period of two days and about sixteen hours. Hey...I'm old and slow. Transmission is very smooth and no codes ( if that means anything ). I may have a small gasket leak but I may just put down cardboard until I recuperate from this first go at it. If it is in fact leaking I'll try it again. My sincere gratitude to this forum in general and to especially to Frango, cheapjeep, and stashgto for all your assistance.
Did you use a prefab gasket or the RTV? I have bad experiences with the gaskets and, eventhough its a bit more work (especially to remove the RTV the next time), i only use RTV now. You could try and fasten the bolts a bit more to stop the leak, but don't overtighten them.
Thanks Frango, I used a prefab and upon further inspection it is leaking more than I thought. I tightened the bolts a small amount at the leak site. I will check again later and see...fingers crossed.
