94 zj 5.2 v8 46rh tranny 3" lift. 31x10.5x15 Mickey Thompson's.
So on thanksgiving I went trail riding since we just moved to Florida from north Dakota. Saw some water for out checked it out decided to go for it.... Big hole in the middle. Stuck. So we get yanked out after sitting there for an hour ( water about 6 inches in vehicle interior at this point.) Drove home about 15 miles fine. Next morning I checked everything over and noticed the tranny took allot of water. Flushed her and filter change and now it's grinding only on downshifts in every gear.
For some reason I didn't check the bands while I was in there and now after 4 flushed I can't afford 7 more quarts of atf for another week. I adjusted the band that's on the outside of tranny yesterday and drove around the block. No griding until the last turn of drive.
I know the syncros don't like water and everything in reading says I need a rebuild. But why would it have drove fine 3/4 of the block then start again? Should I go ahead and adjust both bands check tv cable and go from there or wait and just do a rebuild?
Tldr: flooded my zj and now the tranny is grinding only on downshifts.
