I have a complete WH/XH transmission rebuild kit available. It comes with all O rings, clutch plates, valve body connection plates, replacement plug etc, etc. This is the full rebuild kit except for bearings.
Is anyone interested?

Yep been there done that. The trans oil drain plug seems to be welded in place so the best way is to slowly loosen the pan bolts and let it drain as you go into a large tub. Once you have removed the pan you can use heat to get the drain plug out. The valve body will continue to drip oil for months once it's removed.

Rest of the fluid will be in the torque converter

Wouldn't you know it,
Management wanted everything done yesterday
Barely had a chance to get near the hoist today

Air pressure <30psi
Managed to drain at least another litre
Looking after the environment too,
as my hair prevented most of it reaching the ground


All back together
Got 8 litres down its guts
Hardly a drop on the dipstick
She's not going anywhere tonight

Oh well, Late night tomorrow
It's a Jeep life

Under the Jeep again
Just over 9 litres is half way on the dipstick
Still no drive
There's not even a hint of engagement
Removed pan, checked linkages; All OK
Released Valve Bodies and re-torqued to check for leakage
Back together, refill with 9 litres
And ... still no drive #FFS

Will do a scan tonight
Pan off again
I'm stuck here for another 5 days anyhow
Gotta have some luck sooner or later

Just a stab in the dark would you have to bleed the torque converter or something.
