This report is made because the solution is unusual and contrary to stated service manual. .Bought my 2003 Overland used .Had the whole vehicle inspected prior to purchase. The transmission was replaced then at 170317 miles. A Jasper rebuilt transmission was highly recommended and installed. That was on 4/25/2013.
On 03/09/2017, at 196500, I was experiencing shifting issues. Shifting from 1 to 2 was hard, 2-3 was better but did not want to go into high or overdrive. I had just had the transmission flushed and had checked the fluid myself. Just after the flush the problem was so bad it went to failsafe 3. The CIC was PO876, not listed in my limited code book. The Jasper warranty was for 3 years or 100,000 miles. The warranty time ran out on 3/16. Never-the-less, I called Jasper who helped me find a current mechanic to represent them. They documented all my issues and told me this 45RFE transmission MUST be checked in neutral. The fluid was 2.5 quarts low.
Subsequently, I returned to the mechanic who just flushed the transmission. He was shocked and showed me in his service guide to check the transmission running in PARK. No subsequent issues have been experienced.
