Shit man, sorry. I was rooting for it to be simpler than that. No clue on that code. Good luck, if you track it down I think we'd all love to know.
Yea.. I F’d up.

To add closure to an issue that is seldom closed upon......
It is, in fact, what no one wants to hear. Fluid on the stick looks great. Pull the trans pan and that will be a total different story. Not much of water in the fluid but literal globs of mud. Even a couple blades of grass in the filter. DO NOT GET IN DEEP MUD WITH A LATE MODEL JEEP! Time to replace a trans with 75,000 miles on the clock. Yee yee.

Ouch, sorry to hear that. I'll have to keep this in mind. I tend to do stupid shit and could easily see myself doing this. Hope the swap goes well.

While you have everything out of the way is a great time to extend every breather on the Jeep.

I got that part, I was asking about physically how and where it got in at. Was it just through the breather, or was there another path.
On the same token, the OP needs to be sure to check the transfer case as well as the axles.
Even a sealed compartment can draw water/mud in through the seals if the compartment is hot, IE: operating temperature, and gets put into cold water. The rapid contraction can draw water and mud in through seals that don't normally leak. If it leaks already, it will really suck up the crap.

Well........
Used trans went in. Less miles than what my Jeep has currently (70,000 vs. the jk’s 75,000). I will say swapping out the trans wasn’t too much fuss really. Went well. Dropped it down, filled with fluid and took it for a spin.
I was super excited thinking whew all this trouble and money and finally I got the Jeep back right before topless weather. Had it at a friends place with a lift so had another buddy ride with me to pick it up. I had my chap in the truck so he opted to drive the, what now seems, cursed Jeep.
We made it about 6-7 miles and my cell started ringing with said buddy on the other end. He said everything was working great and then the CEL illuminated and the Jeep kinda made a lunge and lost power. As we are talking he said well it sounds like it just backfired! Under WOT it won’t drop down and go it kinda stumbles and falls on its face.
Got it home and read what she says....
And today to add more to it
Back to the drawing board I guess. Fml.
Leaning towards LS swapping it maybe idk.

Did you check all of the connections towards the bottom of the engine compartment and around the transmission that may have gotten mud or water forced in them. Could be a corroded or shorted connection somewhere

To update on the engine issues, I changed the oil and replaced the filter with a Mopar filter. Jeep does fine now (for the most part). Crazy the difference a dang filter makes. Still gets a P06DD engine oil pressure control circuit stuck off code... I’ll just change the pressure sensor sometime I reckon. But as for now, it’s ok. Will probably break after it reads this post..

Hey!
Why am I being brought into this? That was a long time ago, and nobody remembers.
( I thought)
And oh, it wasn’t that deep.

Well, we pulled the valve covers, which took some work, but we found metal powder on the reluctors that we think is coming from a bad rocker. We'll replace all the rockers tomorrow and put everything back together. Might take two more days. I'll let you know. Apparently, these rockers can go bad as early as 20K miles but this one has 100k.
