So this morning I went back to the workshop to see if Jeep had responded to the local agents report on the found code. The car was back on the hoist when I got there and he told me that Jeep had responded and wanted him to "drain some oil, take a photo of it and send that to Jeep" WTF?? Maybe I heard that part wrong...

Anyway, I hung around until he removed the pan from the tranny. The oil was very very dark. Burnt for sure. But there was surprisingly little eveidence of metal. I could just make out some very few very small shiny bits. The mechanic said the amount there looked fairly normal for an AT pan.

So now I have to wait until this report gets back to Jeep and they respond again. I still don't know if it will be covered without any argument.
