This sums up what I learned about this trans here. It makes a huge difference to remote start(if u got the option) and hop in 3-4 minutes after if it's cold or a minute if its hot, change gears, disengage the ebrake.....no thump and if any its minimal...I honestly doubt that thump which I think its gears slamming into place will damage the tranny within the warranty period as it's a proven one and less loaded than other applications but If u plan to keep you Jeep for many years, it's just a good habit that'll pay off.one of my corks is you must let the oil circulate in the vehicle before driving away. the worst thing you can do is start and jam it into gear.. i know trucks and cars these days are way different than the early 80s and 70s but man whats the rush? your staining everything in the engine and trans when doing this. especially not using the e-brake. Its not that hard to give it two mins to gain some temp in the oils to help them thin out so they flow easily through all the tiny ports. i couldn't imagine doing the start and through into gear with my rebuilt 76. thing doesnt even like moving 3 inchs without a couple mins to warm up the old girl. anyways rant over. Let the idle drop to normal operating RPMs. then put it into gear and disengage the E-brake. your E-brake will extend the longevity of the transmission.. hope that letting it warm up a couple mins has helped your problem!
