Hey any one have a problem were when your driving down the road and step on the pedal it shifts up instead of down shifting if so is there a gift solenoid or anything that might need to be replaced or maybe
My
Torque converter locking up please help with any ideas than guys

 

No body????

 

pretty weird! All I can think of is adjusting your detent cable

 

My '90 XJ would always seem to shift up into overdrive when I needed it to shift down. It would also bounce back and forth between gears quite a bit. I ended up replacing the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) on someone's recommendation. It worked! I did not realize that the TPS is directly connected to the tranny. Cost about $45 at a local auto parts store.

 

Ok I'll try the tps also what is te detent cable incase that doesn't work thanx alot any other ideas are welcome I am using 35 inch
Tires but
That should not
Cause it to shift up thanx guys

 

will look similar to this

 

I have the same exact symptoms in my 96 I just bought. Detent (kickdown) cable. I work at a salvage yard so I will throw a used (free) TPS sensor at it tomorrow and let you Know what happens.

 

did you ever adjust your cable

 

Not yet but will try tomorrow. Been driving my dodge lately. (Think I just swore.) Will drive cherokee and check it out. Been wanting to anyways.

 

Any one know what the adjustment is supposed to be and let me
Know on that tps

 

Just saw a thread about that yesterday here. Let me see if I can find it.

Sorry got distracted for a moment. Here ya go.

 

Thanx guys I'll try detent cable today when I ger home then a tps

 

What the cable dos is regulate the pressure in trans for shift purpose. the further you push the gas pedal the longer it will hold that gear for power .when on higway and you matt the pedal it will downshift the trans to get passing power proper adjustment is critical .
