so let me begin by saying ive been searching up and down, in and out of forums for months to get this issue resolved and its not going well. So posting here to see what else i can do to fix this thing.
96 cherokee, AW4 trans
having the dreaded falling out of overdrive and weird erratic shifting issues.
175K miles, mostly stock other than a 3 inch lift and 30" tires.
things i have done thus far.
2 different TPS sensors.
changed all shift solenoids
fluid and filter twice.
brake light switch.
cap, rotor, plugs.
pulled off the NSS and cleaned it.
added a zero gauge ground wire to the dipstick ground point.
cleaned all the other chassis grounds.
checked and tested the voltage at the TPS.
tried another TCU.
none of this fixed the issue, the only thing it did fix was the CEL for the TPS.
at this point im wondering if the torque converter is just shot. drives fine manually with the TCU unplugged, when its plugged in...runs like trash. has weird first to second random slip shifts, sometimes! and then when i hit 40-45 OD kicks in and TC locks up if i stay on throttle, if i level out or let off itll fall out. IM LOST.
any ideas?? im about to either sell the thing or yank the engine and trans and do a carbureted small block and turbo 350 swap. pulling my hair out here!
