Hi folks, trying to figure out a trans problem. When the vehicle is cold, the shifts are "uncomfortably firm". After a mile or so, which usually includes a few stop signs, shifting is "normal". Sorry, subjective terms, I know. A couple of weeks ago I adjusted the TV cable as in this thread, http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1015963&highlight=AW4+hard+shift, and didn't really notice alot of difference. I adjusted it because it seemed to take alot of throttle to get out of overdrive. I got a hard shift once or twice after adjusting but that was it. Now it does it every time the jeep is cold.
Here are the specs: 96xj 2wd, 179,000 miles. Trans fluid is about 12,000 miles old, lost it's youthful pinkish hue but still looks pretty good to me. Fluid level is good.
Anybody know what might be going on? I'm worried about my old girl!
