Hi, my 1992 jeep cherokee has some shifting issues. The trans will shift at a higher than normal rpm into the higher gear but if I let off the gas at a lower rpm it will shift just fine. It doesn't slip and it doesn't down shift hard. Does anybody know what this might be? Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

 

it also shifts hard when shifting into higher gear when I let it shift on its own but when I let off the gas at a lower rpm it shifts fine.

 

Try adjusting your kickdown cable. It's connected right next to the accelerator cable. Push the half circle shaped release button in and push the plastic end piece (where the cable comes out) all the way back in to the body of the adjuster. Release the button, then grab the lever on the throttle body and twist it to wide open position. (with engine OFF of course) You will hear a slight ratcheting sound as the cable slides thru the adjuster. That should do it. Test drive it. If it shifts normally, yaaay.. if not, don't drive it very much as if it's too far off it can cause transmission damage. If you need to re-adjust it, repeat the process but this time use the gas pedal to attain wide open throttle instead of the linkage on the throttle body. Hope this helps

 

ok thats not it, just tried it and its still doing the same thing. Someone told me that it might be in need of a shifter kit, but theres no way to tell without pulling it apart. Wish there was a jeep specialist around my area, the repair shop here will just give me the run around and replace every little thing even if they knew what was wrong with it from the get go. Any other ideas?
