Hey guys what's up. My 2000 xj has currently developed a wired shifting pattern when I get up to highway speeds. It will just shifts back and fourth like it does not no what gear to stay in. Any ideas? Please help

 

Are you running larger than stock tires? Hilly terrain? Have you adjusted your tv cable?

 

I'm running 35s. And no I haven't adjusted that cable? This just started after about 5 months of having the new tires and what not

 

Start here. It's free and only takes a minute or two.

Have you regeared?

 

No I haven't regeared yet. But like I said its been perfectly fine until my last highway trip and it started to shift funny

 

been in any water lately? a bad TPS will cause this exact problem.

in fact, of the many shifting issues ive had ever, such as not shifting until redline, not shifting into overdrive, or just plain picking the wrong gear for the speed & load your at, its always been a bad TPS causing it for me. for me it always happens like this lol: the idle will start to get choppy, then it starts doing one of the symptoms listed above, then the engine starts to run randomly rough, then eventually it wont start. so now i just replace at first sign of choppy idle :P

check if the kickdown cable is ok, then test your tps.

 

Had to replace mine recently. Fixed the issues.

 

. I changed the tps two days ago and that dident do it. I just went out and adjusted the kick down cable and that seemed to solve the issue thanks for all the help guys!

 

So the free and easy fix was it. I love happy endings........

 

I guess I lied. On the way to work it was fine, but on the way home it did it a few times. Many adjust the cable a lil more?
