cheerokee shifting

[redneck.79]

hi i have a 90 cherokee. i am having shifting problems. the darn thing wont shift untill 4 grand. i have reset the kickdown seval times and still no go how ever come to find out the guy i got the jeep from changed trannies. and the whole reason he changed trannies was cause it was doing the same thing as this tranny is. Could it be the torqe converter or maby the front pump. are they computer controled what I am lost need an easy fix> Help me Somebody

its your tps it routes through to your tranny it is the sensor that runs with rour throttle on i believe the right side of the throttle body.

Edited by me. Was in a different(wrong) section, now that it is in the correct, no use in makin jokes.

They are computer cotrolled. It has a TCU up under by the glove box And is run by a VSS vehicle speed sensor at the back of the tranny. It sounds like the VSS isn't working working so it doesnt know when to shift. I run this same tranny and put in a manual push button shifter from AWSHIFTING.com and now I controll the shift points like it were a stick.

seriuosly change your tps sensor if you didnt live so far away id do it for you i owned 8 jeep cherokee wheelers atleast 6 of them had this problem:awesomework:

Throttle position sensor would be my guess also.

There is no VSS on a '90, that started in '91.

It actually needs to be adjusted with a DVOM or a scan tool, eye-balling it back into place won't cut it.

This is true its around 3.5 volts at full throttel and .5 volts at idle or something like that Dont quote me on the volts I just know it needs to be done with a dvom



Cool on the fix
