So I have adjusted the TV cable. Generally speaking the gearbox shifts much nicer now but it made now difference in the lockout issues. Today, even under light throttle the TC did not lock out correctly, both in 3rd and D... Strangely after about 60 minutes of driving it locked up correctly for...

Thanks for the feedback. I have actually not adjusted it yet.. My machie adjusted it some time back but I will give it another shot again. For some reason I was also suspecting the TPS, as I figured heavy throttle input might be causing some issues. Also, the ol' Jeepie is a little low on...

Hey! I have a question regarding the "normal" TC behaviour. My 1998 4.0 AW4 had some issues regarding lockout (and general shifting issues) which were all resolved by replacing the solenoids a few weeks ago. (seperate thread here: https://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1160110)...

Its worth nothing that I did indeed test these before dropping the pan. Also, disconnecting the plug and driving the car gave me almost exactly the behaviour I was intermittently experiencing which then convinced me to drop the pan. Thanks for all the help

Sorry about that, she is a 98 model. Pulled the pan and measured the solenoids: TC lockup: 900ohms 1-2 & 3-4: 50ohms 2-3: 13ohms So swopped them out and feels lots better. Looks to be solved :cheers:

Thanks for all the info, appreciate it! Yeah, I agree that the intermittent nature of the issue does not point to a total power failure. For example, I went wheeling this weekend and had zero issues the whole day, but driving 5 minutes to the shop the week prior and it did its thing again... I...

That is interesting, I didn't think of it like that.. :banghead: I just assumed it was slipping in first, but now that you mention it it might as well be in 4th! Maybe some erratic power loss to the TCU...

Haha, I generally trust my machie, he maintains plenty Jeeps in our area and he is always super reasonable. That being said, I just don't think I agree with him on this specific issue. I have done a few of the tests listed in that manual. As far as I can tell it is definately electronic. I...

Hey all! I recently took over my dad's 1998 Jeep XJ 4.0. This old lady has been in our family for a good 18 years! We have recently started experiencing some transmissions issues. What would happen is you would put the car in DRIVE and it will essentially slip and not move. It would start to...
