I thought I would change the fluid and filter in my 89 waggy and when I finally got the pan dropped.. tada!
 

I thought that was a transmission filter but wasn't sure.
 
So now what, any damage? Gotta replace the transmission ? Tell me something cause Im ignorant about a lot of things concerning vechicles and trying to learn. What is all that sludge. What ever it is ,it dont look good. Want to sell it? The jeep. Not the sludge. I'm sorry,I'm jonesen really bad since I sold mine.
 
How long have you owned this jeep?, did you notice any shifting problems?
Is there a drain plug on the pan? The reason I ask about the drain plug is maybe on one dropped the pan to change the filter when changing the fluid. It looks more like metal shaving then slug. Also the fluid still looks red wich is a good thing.

If you look at the last 2 pics, there is some damage going on to the casing but not sure how bad..there was definitely ALOT of metal shavings! Sorry, jus got the jeep and have the bug myself lol..why did you sell yours?
 
Money problems was the main reason. I would have sold it in a matter of time because it was a 4 cyl,and I want a 6. Got a good deal on it and had fun with it on the trails,but it was a real dog on the highway with 33x12.5 tires. paid 500 for it,brought it back to life,and sold it for 3000. But didnt make any money on it cause I put a lot of new parts on it. Figure I had it a couple of years and had a lot of fun with it . so I didnt loose out to badly. But I do miss it. Keep us posted on whats going on with your rig . Thanks Bro

I've only owned this Jeep for like 3 weeks..put about 100 miles on it then started noticing it taking a few seconds to go into gear..parked it, investigated, and pondered..transmission was leaking because the po kinked a section of the gasket and then tried to seal it off with silicone.. and nah, theres not a drain plug

Yea, I've always liked the old waggys and Cherokees, and stumbled across this one for $1500..a bit rough around the edges but hey, its a project.. the po didn't love this Waggy too much, he wheeled it more than maintenanced..cut the wheelwells up nasty..I straightened the cuts as best I could..dents everywhere!.. they jerked the hood off and used it as a field sled..so basically a used and abused toy..gonna try and restore as much as I can
 
That 727 trans is on it's way out. Not too hard to rebuild, but some of that stuff is from the torque converter.

Thanks carnuck, thats what I figured was happening..know where I could find a replacement 727 while I'm rebuilding this one for a backup??
