Gentlemen,
To start off the vehicle is a 1995 Cherokee Sport.
Now some background. I posted this over on cherokeeforum but have yet to solve the problem so I figured I'd come ask the folks over here.
I've adjusted the kickdown cable and that didn't fix it
I did a drain/fill today and put in 2 different TPS (one oem and one not oem) and the thing still can't figure out what gear it wants to be in.
As soon as I hit 3rd gear it'll go in to 4th shortly after then drop back down to 3rd and fluctuate between 3rd and 4th unless I keep the gas pedal fully depressed then it stays in 4th but that results in me going faster than I'd like to in this beast. Lol
It shifts from 3rd to 4th around 2500rpms then the rpms will drop to around 2000-2250 once it is in 4th. Then it'll downshift to 3rd almost instantly until the rpms hit 2500 again then back to 4th and right back down to third. It just repeats it endlessly. Hopefully that clarifies it a bit better.
None of this started happening until I did my tune up (plugs, cap and rotor) but, as far as I know, none of that crap has anything to do with the transmission shifting improperly. It was perfect until the tune up so either I messed something up or it is just an unlucky coincidence.
