Hello.
Yesterday I was wheeling. At steep slopes my 42RLE tranny had a problem. I could shift in P, R or D, but nothing happened. After a buddy pulled me out and I was on levelled ground it worked fina again until the next steep slope. Things up to 40-45 degrees worked fine, but above that the tranny didn´t work.
On the evening we found out, that the ATF level wasn´t ok (it was between Full (cold) and Full (hot) with a hot tranny. We had to fill in about 3/4-1 pints of ATF+4 until the level was at Full (hot).
Today we didn´t have the time to try that steep slopes again. So we can´t check if the tranny works fine with the correct ATF level.
Do you thing adding some ATF fixed the problem? Could there be another problem with the tranny?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I don´t have my buddies pics with me and my jeeps on it. But it was in situations like this:
