I spent a couple days searching but couldn’t find what I needed. Hopefully this post will help.
I’ve had trouble with my transmission ‘slipping’ lately. It only occurs from a stop (and of course, is intermittent), otherwise the XJ runs just fine. I’ve narrowed down the problem…the transmission isn’t shifting out of 4th gear when I come to a stop. When I start out again, since I’m in 4th gear the vehicle is very sluggish. If I manually put the level in “1 2” (instead of D) it puts me back into 1st gear and I can manually shift up from there. Everything works fine until I come to a stop again. I do get a CEL but I don't have a tool to read it.
What could this be?
Vehicle details:
’98 Cherokee Sport
I-6
AW4
NP242
What I’ve done:
Checked fluid level
Installed new TPS
