just cleaned my IAC valve, my idle went down significantly![Sorcerer](https://www.cherokeeforum.com/images/smilies/sorcerer.gif)
then went and took my buddy out around the block so he could feel out this weird problem I'm having... here's the know and wonder..
know: I need trans fluid pretty bad, checked it and it seems I barely have any.
wonder: what would having low trans fluid cause exactly??
this is my concern: when im turning sometimes, my jeep will kind of catch itself and pop to pickup what i believe is the gear. When I go to brake, it'll sound as if the engine is still on the gas but I am stopped. when I let off the brake I will actually roll backwards a bit, instead of crawling forward. Then I hit the gas it'll sound like its in neutral and revving, but then catch itself and "pop" into gear. What could be the cause of this??
I checked with a butane torch for a vacuum leak and everything seemed to check out. So that seems gravy but I know it could be the brake booster.
My front diff vent hose has a gash in it, could this be causing the problem??
I also noticed that what i believe to be my trans pan has a dent in it where something is leaking. I'll post pictures tomorrow but any insight will help. If you dont wanna answer here I posted a tech thread and will add the link in a minute.
