Default AW4 auto Transmission Question

Alright, so I guess the shift points on the aw4's are a little odd, but I was just taking a poll to see if everyone else has transmission shifts like mine.


if taking off from idle at a normal pace, at what point (mph) does your transmission shift from first gear to second? I am not familiar with what all effects this. Sorry.

Second to third? Third to fourth?

Mine is a 99 cherokee sport and I am trying to determine if my transmission is shifting in the right points.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try adjusting your TV cable, I did this and now my transmission shifts like a dream. Should be some threads on here.
