As some of you know, I just got an 87 XJ from my uncle. It has the 4.0, aw-4, 242, and 133k mi. I powerwashed the engine compartment and drivetrain this weekend before driving up to school. the engine was pretty nasty so i used engine brite. Now since i washed it the trans only shifts into second at about 4200 rpm. It doesnt shift again after that. I thought maybe something was just wet, so i let it sit for a day or so, and it actually worked the next time i drove it, shifted fine. But now it has done it the last 2 times i've driven it, only goes into second. is the TCU fried? is there a tcu? is my kickdown cable screwed up? i dont even know what alll could affect it. I have the ax-15 in my other jeep and i'm seriously considering dropping one in this xj, i already don't enjoy the auto's gimmicks. hopefully someone can shed some light on this so i can drive home this weekend and get more than 4 miles to the galon. thanks
