1989 XJ with AW4 .
basically in D it starts in 3rd. same in 3. in 1-2 it starts in 2. My little tranny switch thing still lets me force it into 2nd gear. Trying to get 3 and D to work in all gears again.
I swapped and calibrated the TPS - same as I have been doing for years, I usually have to do this twice a year or more so I know how to set and calibrate it. It usually fixes any tranny related issues.
I checked both tranny fuses- the one at the box and the one inline near the TCU - are there any others?
I cleaned the bulk head connectors near the oil dipstick.
I cleaned my grounds for fun and also drained and filled what was in the pan. The fluid was a little dark but I change the fluid out of the pan(not a full flush) 3X a year.
Any ideas? I am thinking of swapping TCUs at this point? Or would a solenoid do this?
