I wasn’t there but she ‘says’ she was pulling out of the garage and the garage door was coming down on the Jeep so she put it in drive and gunned it. Next thing she knew she was in the pool.

A guy on eBay said the part # of a used TCU has to match mine exact. Is that true? Aren’t the 91 to 95’s all the same?

Unfortunate that there would have been less (none because the door would have stopped?) if she had just let the door come down.

Yes, that's the one I have. 56041016 is supposed to be the same unit. I hope so

I got a used TCU from ebay, put it in and still no proper shifting. Disconnect it and it shifts manually from 1 to 3 to 4. Any ideas of what to try next? My TCU has a "94L" on it and the one I got has a "96D". I'm wondering if that's the year and month it was made? If so I don't think a '96 TCU will work in a '95. Right?

Ok, latest update. Got a matching number TCU and it worked

For some reason the engine was running really bad, stalling out and sputtering. Via good ol' Google and YouTube, tested my Throttle Position Sensor and yep, it wasn't putting the proper voltage on throttle range. Changed it and all is well. Got a temp gauge sender on the way and hopefully all my dash gauges will be back to normal.

Thanks to everyone who chimed in here with all the great help. My AquaJeep is running(for now anyway) as good as it did before it went for a swim.
