Hi, I've been having some issues with my AW4 and need some advise.
It is in a 1990 Jeep XJ.
The problem is intermittent and doesnt make any sense to me.
I can go out and take it for a drive and it shifts like a brand new car. Then i stop the car and start it again and it will rev 1st up to anywhere from 2000 to 4000 rpm(normally it shifts at 1200-1300, light aceleration). Then 2nd will go up to 2300-3500rpm and slam into 3rd, which then wont shift until im at 2500-3000rpm and again slam it into 4th. The numbers provided are for "normal" driving, ie not slamming on the gas.
The road I usually drive on has a 60km/h(bare with me its only for referance) at 60km/t it is supposed to be in 4th, but when it acts up I have to bring it up to atleast 70km/t to get it to upshift but I have to slowly lift off, then sometimes it will go back to 3rd as a decellerate to 60. When its shifting fine it is in 4th by 50 or 55km/t.
This happens about 50% of the time I drive. Sometimes (20% of the time) it shifts fine until I hit traffic and slow down.
So far I have
- changed out the solenoids and changed the filter and fluid in the AW4.
- adjusted the tps
- tried to adjust the TV cable, that works for about 2 drives then its back to being weird again.
It doesnt seem like there is anything mechanicly wrong with the tranny as it shifts like a god riding a cloud when its not pmsing.
I am going to change out the brake/cruise swith soon to get OD to work. Its been broken for 1.5 years before the weird shifting started so I dont excpect it to fix anything.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do?
