I have a 98 grand Cherokee 5.2l. It has a 44re trans with 260k miles. It has never given me issues until now. When it is shifting from first to second it is very slow in between. When shifting from second to third it seems like it slips out of gear and revs a little before it goes into third.
Now I understand its high time things like this start to go at 260k. First question is to rebuild or replace? Second is on a replacement. I found one at a local yard that has only 36000 miles for $500. Only drawback is its been there since 1999. Its been indoors but I don't know if its been covered. I have bought lots of excellent parts there in the past and fully trust them but its been there for 12 years. Does anyone know if a transmission that's been sitting that long would be any good?
Thanks!
