97 cherokee when i stop it works really hard to go but if i shift it into 1-2 it goes just fine but wont shift into 2nd then i push it into 3rd just fine and then overdive i get 2 codes p0700 trans control sys malfunction and p0758 shift solenoid b circuit electrical does this mean that i need to change the shift solenoid or could it be just a bad wire some where please help i dont have the money to rebuild or replace the tranny

 

on my renix, it was the throttle positioning sensor (TPS).

 

i found a thread on here and it seems to be the shift solenoids so ill start there but does this sound right

 

I had the same problem on mine and just changes the whole TCM (transmission control module) and it solved all my problems

 

ok ill look around for one of those and i just drove it really hard and it didnt do it again it seems that it only does it after being on the highway and just checked the tranny fluid and its pretty dirty so flush and fill next weekend and i just might replace the shift solinoids while the pan is off i hope this works

 

well didnt make it that far drove great so far till today and had to manually shift it home about 20 miles on back roads drained it and the oil was dark so new fluid and filter still trying to find the solenoids so hopefully ill have them by this weekend and ill be good to go

 

TPS

 

well changed the fluid and filter today fluid was dark brown and all most like water so will have to wait and see if it acts up tomarrow ill keeo you all posted

 

When you refill it, add some of the Lucas Trans Fix.. I had a 97 ZJ and had a problem with the Trans Slipping and shifting bad, replaced the fluid and added a bottle of Lucas and it never had a problem again. I have used it in many of my Jeeps and it always helps. I have recommended it to other people with trans problems and it has fixed theirs too.

 

ok the search begins for the TCM anyone know where i can get one for a 97 xj

 

I have one laying around here somewhere, you can have it if I can find it

 

thank you let me know what shipping would be to me and ill send you the money

 

I will pm you if I can find it in the morning

 

ok let me know

 

Getting same 2 codes on mine, plus a P1698(which sounds like may be just result of other 2 codes from what I've read online).

Did you find the problem and if so, what did you fix/replace?

I'm thinking either TCM or solenoids as well. Anyone know what year Cherokee TCM's will be compatible with my '97 if I go looking for one at salvage yard?

Saw a remanufactured TCM online but want $404 for it and I don't have that kinda cash at moment.
