This Cherokee has been in our Engineer Company longer than I have. I know of 5 owners personally. It has been sitting for a year or so, and the PO never got around to fixing it. The transmission wouldn't shift, so I paid $300 to take it off his hands. I already fixed the transmission and overall it runs great now. There are still a few issues that I will list. I am open to ideas on how to go about the repairs and what else to check out.
Trans issue thread ->1995 XJ With a trans shift issue
Specs:
1995 Jeep Cherokee XJ, 2WD, AW4, C8.25, ALL STOCK.
Done:
Replaced Battery
Changed oil/filter - Delo HD 15w40/Puralator
Changed Transmission Fluid - Supertech Dex/Merc III
New Trans filter & pan gasket
Replaced all 3 shift solenoids
Replaced Throttle Position Sensor
Replaced Coolant Temp Sensor
Replaced Oil Pressure Switch
Cleaned throttle body
Adjusted Throttle TV cable
Painted exterior trim satin black
Painted wheels gloss black
Cleaned interior real good
New floor mats
New steering wheel cover
New liftgate struts
Problems left to solve:
Needs new door check arms
Driver door lock will not rotate
Passenger door lock has been pried out and now is loose
Liftgate latch will not lock or unlock with key
Coolant Temp still does not register, will replace thermostat
Flush radiator
Oil drain plug hole is stripped, will tap and go one size bigger
Change oil once more
Change differential fluid
Clay bar paint
Really needs tires
2 rust holes in the rear roof, along with a rusted out passenger rear pillar (biggest problem)
Goal: To sell a clean & good running XJ with minimal investment. I'm not trying to jerry-rig anything, but I'm not trying to make it perfect either. I think I can turn a decent profit with a little time and effort.
