Hey all I hate to be the "FNG" who comes on with a problem, but I am afraid if I cant get this figured out then I may suffer a fatal aneurysm.
I have an 1996 XJ Country 4.0 AW4 4x4. I bought it about a year ago and I have been having a shifting problem since day 1. When driving at highway speeds after the vechicle has warmed up completely it will shift out of overdrive, if you press the gas petal it will shift back into overdrive but as soon as you let up slightly it will drop back out. If you are driving a good distance 50+ miles it will occasionaly drop all the way to second without changing the position of the throttle. When you pull over and put it into park, shut the engine off and restart it will operate fine for a few miles then start dropping out of overdrive again. Also occasionaly when driving in the city the transmission will not down shift out of 3rd or 4th when stopping at stop lights, if you move the selector to 1/2 then up to 3 it works fine. When I first bought the Jeep I pulled the transmission plug drained the oil, filled with new and drove for about 250 miles then pulled the pan and changed the filter and oil. I drove about 3000 miles and changed the filter and fluid again. Nothing ever looked wrong with the fluid I changed other than the first time when it was burnt. I have been doing research and have already checked and replaced my Throttle Position Sensor. I have adjusted the TV cable that is controlled by the throttle lever. I have also replaced all 3 shift soleniods (resistance was a little out of spec) I have also checked the fuses and connectors. The only other thing that I can think could be causing the issues is the TCM/U, or the tranny is working on dying. Any feed back that could possibly shed some light on my situation is greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Semper Fi
