I have a 1996 Cherokee with the 4.0 liter and AW4. I'm just about to turn 150,000 miles and the shifting has become erratic.
If I really baby the throttle from a stop, most of the time it will upshift but it seems to be going all the way up to 3rd or overdrive. It shifts but gets real doggy like it is trying to pull in too high of a gear.
If I apply a regular amount of throttle from a stop, it doesn't want to shift. I have to goose the throttle and rev it up to about 3000 rpm and back off the gas to get it to shift. Even then, it still feels like it shifted up too high.
I've already replaced the trottle position sensor because it was cheap and easy to access. I believe there is a fuse in the fuse block as well as an inline fuse to the transmission control module that should be checked.
Where is the TCM located on the 1996 Cherokee? I believe later years have it under the PS glovebox.
Any suggestions as to what type of gremlin I have here? I'm hoping it is a simple electrical problem rather than a mechanical one. I don't have a multimeter so I can't check the various voltages myself though.
Thanks
