So recently my jeep started to shift weird right as I replaced my fan clutch for some reason when driving depending on how hard I'm on the gas pedal it can shift at really high rpms as in 4k-4.5 or low 2.5, into 2nd then it shifts at about 33 mph to 3. Then jumps to 5, when I floor it to try and get it to downshift it doesn't and it feels like its in 15th gear because it barely accelerates, adjusted my kick down cable near the TB, and today replaced the TPS. Still having same symptoms.

 

Have you checked to over drive cable that runs from your transmission to the TB? My buddies Jeep done the same thing and come to find out that's what it was

 

No I have no idea where it's located but it feels like overdrive

 

Oh and how did he fix it

 

Year?

"So, recently, my Jeep started to shift weird ever since I replaced my fan clutch. Now it seems like it shifts at really high RPMs whenever I'm on the gas hard, like 4k or 4500 RPM, it'll shift early into second gear, like 2500rpm, then at about 33mph it'll shift to third gear. Then it's like it just to fifth gear.

When I floor it, it doesn't downshift.

I have already adjusted the kickdown cable and replaced the throttle position sensor, but it's still doing this."

 

Wow, how'd you do that?

 

Solenoids maybe? Possibly the overdrive one?

 

How do I get to the solenoid

 

Pretty simple to do but it's a pain in cold weather unless u have a garage. It's like replacing your trans filter.

What you need is a trans filter replacement kit, trans fluid, and the solenoids which you could get online or some parts stores. My advice before you do this is take it to a trans shop and get it inspected before you do this because it can be a little expensive and they'll be able to tell you for sure if it's a trans problem or not. Also some shops do it for free. Next after you verify that it's the solenoids.
Get your stuff.
Prop yup the front end of your yeep.
Drain the fluid into a container( if it's pretty brownish red youll need the old stuff later)
Drop the trans pan,
drop the filter( careful because these still hold alot of fluid)
You'll see the 3 solenoids and it should be that you can pop them off I think.
Pop in the new one/ones
Relace filter
Clean off pan and old gasket
Put new gasket on( comes in kit)
Bolt her up but be are I'll not too tight or you may rip/mess up gasket
If fluid was brown put about 1-4- 1/3 of your old fluid back in, then fill her up with new fluid.
Start her up and test drive on side streets. Then if all is good you should be set to go

And any questions about it can be answered on google by searching trans solenoid replacement xj

 

Oh my goodness thanks for this info!! But what if this is not the problem, then I would have to put in a new trans?

 

Is there any chance the prolem could be linked to my t-case?

 

Also it only revs to 3k rpms when past 33mph, when I have it floored
