First post. Bought a 97 XJ about a month and a half ago, and have been searching this forum to fix all the little issues. Seems it had pretty much all the usual glitches. My question is about the transmission. This is my first experience with an AW4 trans. Shifts smooth, no slipping, no unusual noises. I live out in the sticks on twisting, hilly back roads, so all my driving is in 3rd. I pretty much never use OD. When it shifts to 3rd, it goes straight to lockup within a second or so. My experience with other transmissions has been that rpm's will continue to build a bit before lockup. I adjusted the TV cable as described on here, and while it did help with the 2 to 3 shift ( I felt it went in to 3 too early), that had no effect on lockup point. Do I have an issue, or is this normal for the AW4? One wildcard in the deck is that the previous owner told me the trans had been swapped for one out of a 95 so not sure about the wiring. I read the all you wanted to know about the AW4 thread on here, but didn't see this issue covered. Thoughts?
