TC Lockup Issues, Clicking, Jerking
I'm getting very frustrated by this. Okay; I have a 98 Cherokee Sport 4x4 i6, and I'm having issues with what I suspect is my Torque converter unlocking when it shouldn't be.
I will be driving down the street at 10-15mph, and I will suddenly feel my rpms drop and will hear a loud couple of clicks. If I hit my throttle a little, it will stop clicking and my RPMs will rise to where they are supposed to be, almost like I have no response until a certain rpm.
I changed my fluid today (forgot to check my solenoids) and it didn't help. I'm suspecting TPS or Brake switch... Or possibly a ****ed TC.
This is driving me insane, and I drive for a living so I will appreciate any help.

I'd suspect the TPS as well. Might try this too:

I'm just not sure about the TPS. I forgot some diagnosis info. When I would disconnect the TCU, it wouldn't do it as much. It would still do it, but I think that isn't related to diagnosis simply because I would, by hand, keep it in first for longer so the rpms stay higher at all times.
I'll be going to the boneyard tomorrow and grabbing a couple of things to try.

For sure will in the AM. Will the TC not locking cause what I am describing? It's strange. It's like a loud lockup and clicking noise coming from the front. If I don't hit the gas, it will keep clicking. The reason I think its a TC locking issue is because of the RPM drop when it happens.
