I have an 02 WJ and it won't shift until I tach 4500?!? Wth is going on

 

Check your TV cable for adjustment or being disconnected. That's the cable from the throttle to the trans. It controls shift points.

 

I thought the TV cable was literally only in control of the throttle? I'm shifting to second at around 3800, third at around 4500, and I couldn't even touch fourth at 100mph

 

Okay so I examined the TV cable this morning and found something that seemed off.



In the picture above from closest to farthest
Cable one, goes to some kind of ground or vacuum, I have no clue.
Cable two, goes to the tranny.
Cable three, runs into the dash.

I pushed onto the cables a little bit to check for tension and cable one was so slack it could be used as a hammock for a mouse. Cable two, was a little slack. And three, was in the Goldie locks area.

 

What about the transmission control solenoid, what if that failed?!

 

The JEEP WON THE SHIFT!

 

I found my problem when trying to replace my trans control solenoid today



That's the pressure release spring in the valve body YAY. I see upull-it in my future

 

on post #4 what is the cable in the middle? that one has a lot of slack and I don't know how to take it up.

 

I believe it's for the cruise control. It should go to a large vacuum canister. It should be slack if not engaged.

 

thank you. I watched a video on you tube on how to take the slake out of the TV cable and im gonna try that too. hopefully it will shift better after.

 

The middle cable is for cruise control. You don't want to take the slack out

 

thank you.

 

What year make model and kind of problem are you having

 

I've searched numerous threads and different searches. Can anybody tell me the sensor or plug that is in between (bottom of tranny on the side) input and output sensors on a 42Re. Can't find a diagram that tells me
95 zj 4.0

 

There's a trans control solenoid. Governor pressure position sensor and solenoid. And another I can't remember
