this problem has been driving me nuts for weeks. Easiest fix I've ever done, thanks, Ronnie.
Adjust ur brake light switch plunger behind the brake pedal for anyone on here looking for answers to weird tranny issues. Took me years to find it. Btw great video thank you
I adjusted mine and it started bucking on first and second gear shift. I feared the transmission was having trouble but after seeing your video I realized it started after I did the adjustment. Search for a good way to do it and you gave me the answer. I just need to play with it and get the right adjustment. Thank you.
About two months ago my overdrive in my '96 XJ was acting funny. It would cut out while driving highway speeds and my cruise control would stop. I'd have to pull over and stop, take back off, then overdrive and cruise would work again. Little bit later, same thing would happen. I lubed up the button, adjusted it, now all works great. So now, I'll hit the button with some P.B. Blaster every time I do the oil change to keep that from happening again. Great vid and awesome info. Keep on keeping on bro. OlllllllO
J. W. That's weird I never seen one do that before
@Cherokee Ronnie. Hey Ronnie, thanks for posting the video. I just bought a 1993 Cherokee last week and not that I've been driving it around much but I did notice that during my 30-40 miles I put on it that the shift points were way too high. I paid attention to the rpm's which were shifting at 2,300 to 2,500, so yep it sounded like the trans was really winding out. I made that adjustment this morning & then started it, let it warm up a bit, then off I went for a 6 mile loop that I go on whenever I've just repaired something on my vehicles. And I have to say, Cool Man, the shift points are a lot better. At a normal acceleration, with or without traffic, my Jeep was shifting at 1,800 to 2,100 and when it went into 4th, it averaged 1,600-1,700 rpm's.
Now it's not my 1st jeep Cherokee but since it has been 10 years and taking into consideration it's still new to me, I'm just taking my time with it so I don't fall into any problems from rushing into things. There is not rust on the vehicle at all. Came outta Colorado Springs, Colorado, where it lived since 1993, so being the 3rd owner and it now living in Michigan, automatically lets this Jeep stand out, so I'm glad it's in great condition. Other jeep owners can look at the grille and pretty much guess from what part of the 90's it was made, plus I've gotta get used to the other Jeep Owners who know you gotta wave at any other Jeep on the road. It's a neat experience and glad I subscribed to your channel. Thanks again Ronnie for uploading this video...
I’m buying a $750 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee and think this is the problem your the fucking MAAAAN dawg! 🙌🏾💯
thanks a lot for this, this fixed my second to third shifting issue, it was driving me crazy.
Hi Ronnie, thanks for the great tutorial, that's exactly what I needed - simple and functional. Thanks Joseph 👍
This just saved my day thanks
My transmission stuck in first gear I'm mad cuz u do it so easy and it's resetting mines.
Thanks for the information .You have one of the best channels for renix jeeps.
i was this 👌 close to doing a warranty claim on my transmission because it wasn't downshifting. Did this, and it shifted like perfect. i wasn't even expecting it. I just thought it'd fix my pedal height a bit.
Thanks for this ! Was looking into buying an xj so I found your channel helped a lot ! I just got a 88 xj out here in California from an older gentleman it’s spotless he would just haul it with his rv and your videos sure do help me out a lot ! I’m in love with my new xj ! Needed a new daily to let my jk rest but thanks appreciate your videos 👍🏼
Jesus, I need to try this. My jeeps been feeling a bit weird with shifting and high rpms, despite new IAC/TPS/CPS. I'd be happy as fuck if it's something so simple.
It's actually called the "line pressure up cable" by Aisin. It increases the line pressure in trans to engage the clutches harder at higher engine loads.
Long time XJ owner. Heard all about "adiusting" and how difficult it can be. Mind blown.
How do I adjust it if the plunger doesn’t ratchet back when I step on the throttle? For instance, when I push the plunger back and then I step on the throttle the plunger just stays in place. I have to manually put the plunger back in position.
If your button won't push down a socket that fits inside the button recess when laid over on its side and a channel lock tool will push that button down.
then while down move the " nose" out of the housing 1/16 of an inch untill the shift quality is where you like it.
Saves a sore finger.
Just a gentle squeeze is all it takes.
OK, didn't work right for me...but I did get the problem fixed. Let me explain:
I had the exhaust manifold replaced and after it was shifting real high. I sort of freaked out and thought that back in the day I'd have figured they messed with or unhooked the vacuum modulator. I had no idea what direction to go but a few searches found this and others. That button would not move. Took liquid wrench and a sore finger before it moved. I had to really fight it and it was hard to get the adjuster thingy to move...but it did. I should say mine looked a little different ('95 inline 6). It would not adjust however. I lubed and tried and held the button and moved it...thing was almost seized and there was no auto adjusting going to take place here. I watched this closely, and then manually moved the thingy where it looked like it needed to be. To my amazement...because it just didn't really look like it would do anything...it fixed it. Shifts are back where they belong...HOORAY! #jeep #cherokee #shifting #kickdown
Same issue, hopefully it works
Thanks a lot man! Problem solved.
98 XJ with cruise control. I would adjust and within days needed to do it again. I replaced the entire cable and it was doing great, now I've had to readjust twice in about a month. Any idea? I'm thinking about gluing the thing in place, lol. Thanks in advance.
Thanx for the vid! Any chance you could do a how-to on the cruise control delete?
I've been trying to reset my cable it's not working.i tried at least 40 times and it still not working.i know it's not my transmission because my transmission was gd before I cleaned my throttle body is there something I'm doing wrong
got a 87 AMC cherokee chief , don't know much about the tranny or how they work it has the AW-4 in it , with power tran button on dash / i'm adjusted it a couple times like you said , but it won't shift out of low at all any ideals ? thanks
What if mine won’t kick back out after pushing the gas pedal in
Hey man, the plastic conmecter on my TV cable is snapped, I have to head back on a 3 hour trip tomorrow and you've been the best resource I've come across so far. Is there any way to replace just the plastic or would I have to go ahead and get that whole part redone?
I have the same problem, I snapped it when I was pulling it out. What did you end up doing?
Cool video, Learned something new! Thanks Ronnie!
My cable is hanging by a thread hoping to change it out
Thank you
Thank you foo.
Will this cause a low drop down in the rpm at a red light that will cause the e gone to stop ?
Thanks for sharing this trick, but that’s just the shifting cable adjust. I’m looking for the throttle cable tightening, my pedal is not as high as i would. Do you have a video for this ?
Replace cable
I have 98 jeep laredo. It's crazy! I've taken to 3 mechanics. Who drive it and tell me there nothing wrong with it! When driving on interstate and it's gets between 60 to 70 miles. The rpm will start revving up. You can see it, And feel it. It doesn't do it when idling. Only between 3rd 4th gear. Can this be same thing? Cable?
I bought a 93 zj the last owner told me it's a manual automatic transmission meaning you shift from low on up to drive , if you take if in drive it's to lazy and hardly moves
My 1994 Jeep cherokee while I’m driving it if I go to floor it, it will downshift too much and hit the rev limiter or if I’m accelerating too fast it will just be bouncing off the rev limiter should I try this to fix it?
Just found your channel, great vids and straight to the point. 👍🏻
I recently bought a 2000 jeep grand Cherokee (v8). Noticed it was shifting sluggishly and looked into this tv cable. But every video I find shows a button to adjust it and there is no button on mine. After looking at the cable it is incredibly loose and needs adjusting, I just don't know how.
Sean Cantley did you ever find a way?
Good info...Thanks CR
Can you get replacement tv cable clips for the throttle body?
I have a 2004 Wrangler TJ 4.0L. I have the throttle cable and the cruise control cables attached to the throttle body but NO TV (kick down). Now with a lot of time and effort I finally saw a blog saying my Jeep doesn't have one. It uses a computer. And with my engine notorious for lagging or upshifting early, the recommendation is turning off the OD when in town. Also I saw an AD for a device that plugs into the computer for the transmission that eliminates this need. Apparently there's about a three second delay between the computer relaying information to the transmission and the throttle body movement. Hence the lag and delay in downshifting when accelerating.
What are your thoughts?
we changed the front seal in my 1995 jeep and now it wont go over 1500 to 200 rpms and blow the seal back out help plz
my cherokees acceleration cuts off i get no gas or power i have to pull over and start again could this be the issue
Hey Ronnie great video, I have a 2000 WJ 4.7 and it started shifting hard from 1-2 and the kickdown from 4 to 2nd is really hard, do you have any idea on were to start? Cheers man!
Maybe solenoids
I'm having some issues, I'll be driving my jeep, the shifting is a little funny, but when I'm around 35 to 50 mph it feels like it shifts down or loses some power then it stays that way and all of a sudden shifts back to normal, I don't have any grinding on my tranny, any jerking, I know it's something simple bit can't figure it out.
I'm having trouble passing cars an it's not wanting to shift right is this my problem
Cherokee ronnie I have a 95 jeep grand cherokee limited with the 5.2. will this also work for mine?
I hope you still monitor these comments. 98 Wrangler 4.0L 3 speed automatic. I do not have the bush button like you do and I can't adjust it by simply pressing the gas pedal. Throttle all the way out and it shifts sluggish and doesn't down shift when trying to pass. Adjust it tighter and it shifts fine, downshifts when accelerating to get on the high way but then shifts into third at about 50mph. I swear it was down shifting even on the highway before I had to replace the cable. Am I too tight or not tight enough? Too easy of a thing to mess with to pay someone to do it.
Do you have any play in the wire
@@cherokeeronnie When I adjust it where it shifts fine then no. Before it did. However, I have seen several videos now where the guys have the same style cable I do and they have adjusted it differently than your video shows. Maybe because the button allows a "self adjust" to a point. Mine has a clip, where your button is, that has to be removed for adjustment.
great work mate
mine didn't shoot back out or ratchet at all does that mean it is broken ?
Dose Anyone know which the number 1 cable is for help please
How could a friend help me with my Jeep Cherokee every time I turn it on, it speeds up too much and then the revolutions go down but it only does so when it's hot
Fredy T List of possible things
CPS
TPS
IAC
TV CABLE
Was trying this till i realized my peddle cable is so stretched out so much it wont even set the other cable to the first click....
what if after putting in if i press the pedal it wont pull it out
I had one like that, extreme long time between shifts hard shifts. Move the center out 1/16" at a time till it shifts like you want.
Tv cable is saying w.o.t. now
Mine is not extracting back out with the pedal but it does extract out if I do it by hand at the throttle period what the hell does that mean? LOL my shifting is a little bit late at around 3000 - 3300 Doesn't seem to get any better no matter how I adjust the cable
That’s my problem too!, mines not coming back out
I pushed the button down and pushed it in as far as it would go but when I stepped on the gas pedal nothing happened. It just stayed pushed in all the way.
Is the button stuck
What happens wen it doesn't adjust back myin jus stays in throttle pulls cable but it doesn't adjust
Drew
Mine does that too. 95 Grand Cherokee. I have to adjust it every day. Going to replace it
I’m one of the dudes that just wot it, gonna try to do it from the actual pedal.
I have a 5 speed manual 94 and my tac sits at 1000 and at super high revs the needle only goes up to 2500- 3000? I took the air intake off the throttle body and gave it some gas using the little lever there on the throttle body and again at max rev my butterfly valve only opened like 20 degrees??? like it barely opens at all!!!! also it feels so damn sluggish I can't accelerate for shit!!! could all these issues be due to my valve positioning with the valve cable and all that? I'm trying it tomorrow anyway so I guess ill just find out then? oh also I got a TPS engine code last week when I hit 75mph the other day. thought that might be an issue to... but regardless of all this stuff shouldn't my butterfly valve be like al the way open at max rev??? or close to all the way open? please help me
Slack in the throttle cable from the accelerator pedal to the throttle valve roadside fix is zip ties between cable end and gas rod to take up clearance. Long term fix is replace with new old stock cable. From rock auto or parts geek
Randomly this just started. But as soon as I start my jeep the rpms try to red line real fast and have no idea why.
Sounds like your air idle control valve. Ots located on back of throttle body
Is it possible to make this adjustment too many times? If so, what are the repercussions of doing that? I've been having issues, for about 6 months now, with my 94 XJ automatic shifting either too quick or too late, very erratic overall. I've replaced the TPS and have done this adjustment probably 20-25 times over the coarse of the last 6 mos. Yesterday, it started to not shift at all on the highway. I would press the gas and the RPMs would go up over 3000, but it would not accelerate and I had to coast it into a gas station. Went out and made the TV cable adjustment and then would crank, but not start. Repeated the adjustment 5-6 times and still wouldn't start. Unplugged the TPS and it started right up. Attempted to drive it the 5 miles home, with the TPS unplugged, but the same issue came up with it not shifting or accelerating. Is this what they call "limp mode"? Anyway, I pull over and plug the TPS back and try to start it and this time it started and mysteriously drove and shifted much better, although still not perfectly. Should I be looking at something in the transmission itself at this point? It's full of fluid and it's the stock AW4 tranny. Does any of this sound related to a neutral safety switch problem at all? Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
Same problem
@@joshnewton1243 , still haven't gotten it worked out. My next step is to change the tranny fluid/filter and inspect the shift solenoids while I'm in there, hopefully in the next week or two. That's about all I have left, so hopefully that fixes this issue.
@@lonewolfsurvival3453 towed my sister's truck today, out of "nowhere" my check engine came on and the jeep would drive in what felt like limp mode, pulled into advanced and she threw tps and csps codes. I replaced both of these when I first bought the jeep two years ago, replaced tps again a year ago and experienced the same limp mode I felt today. Still drove tho.
@@lonewolfsurvival3453 yea probably something else going on for me, I have a 98.
@@joshnewton1243 , the first step, if the TV cable adjustment above doesn't help, would be to look at your TPS (throttle position sensor), that is if you're experiencing the same symptoms that I am. Mine was bad and, installing a new one did help somewhat, but not completely, so it's something else in my case. Have you tried that yet? If not, DO NOT buy a cheap rebuilt TPS, since I found out too late that those rebuilt ones are garbage and don't last very long at all. Get a brand new one, which should run you $50-75.00, depending on the brand.
my jeep doesn't like to stay in overdrive. sometimes the converter doesn't lock up either. I really don't feel like I have an issue with the trans because otherwise it's flawless. mines 2wd. are they built well too?
If you have a check engine light on and a TPS code, that might be your trouble. Mine would not shift to overdrive (wouldn't stay when you touched the gas) until I fixed my TPS
hi,have a 1997 jeep grand Cherokee ,when driving it will all the sudden like you put in in nutrial.
i changed the fluid and filter ,and same thing,but sometimes it drive perfict.what ya think it can be
thanks tj
Had a similar issue. 98 Grand Cherokee. Going to 3rd Gear from 2nd. Felt like a neutral and a slow shift. That's the 2-3 shift valve In the valve body hanging up. Anyways, If it still shifts but feels like theres no grip for a split second, ya I'd try Adjusting your tv cable. Note that the Grand Cherokees have a different kind of adjuster.
That cable system looks just like the one on my 91 f150 AOD
Ren J old ford jeeps xjs and Toyotas are very similar
Hey man, from Miami here. Does this apply to a 00’ Wj? I’m sure it’s differently set up! 4.0 Wj btw
I take the car for a spin 1st is fine when I left go off the gas to start accelerating again off a corner it’s just like if it’s on neutral and starts bouncing maybe this is the issue
@@Late80s same thing happening to mine it’s an 02 you fix the issue?
The black clip the hooks onto my throttle body for the tv cable broke. Any solutions or do i gotta buy a new cable?
Buy a new one
Thank u for the quick reply sir, just a few mts ago I started my 89 jeep 4.0, it would not shift in reverse, I checked fluid level etc all fine, but after it got warmed up then it would shift into reverse, gave me a heart attack since this rig is my whole life at present, had it since new, maintained it immaculately, same engine and tranny all original mileage is past 310k miles, I happened to top off a liitle tranny fluid with dexron mercon synthetic and this problem popped up, should I go hunt for the dexron3 and replace the fluid ? thank u once more sir.
Also, my throttle cable has slack in it. To me it seems too loose. Is there a way to tighten it?
Get a new one.
The attachment points are both outside fairly easy job when cool
Can I spray a little WD40 on the TV cable where u push it down for adjustment ? thanks big guy, take care.
Yup shouldn’t hurt it
Oily parafin attracts dust
I done it to mine and it seem like it made the shifting worse can’t get out of first gear any idea sir
You ever fix that mines been out sense 2020 can’t bring my self to sell it nor can I figure out what’s up with it won’t shift out of first
What do I do if the little plunger doesn’t come out when I hit the gas
Remove and Clean the throttle body
Manually pull it out 1/16" at a time till it shifts like you like it.
what does the tv cable stand for
"Throttle valve"
I broke the clip to the TV cable , should I buy a new one don't really want to , ghetto rig it , or do they sell the clip itself I can put on the end of the cable ?
Don't have button on 99
Mine didn't shoot back out?? Is that ok??
Jackie Carpenter lube it up good. You might have to pull the button up too to get it to stay
Mine didn’t either... I lubed it up but still won’t shoot out when I push down on the gas. Does this mean mine is broken? Can you replace these things?
@@aaronschmittmatzen yes
hi sir
I'm a 2 yrs from 80 woman. I need instructions so why do you talk over half the time? Get organized & get to the point. When I turn on UA-cam for instructions I'd like to see the location & the parts. No time for chit chat.
Come now lady, you had time to chit chat with this comment 🌝
You should ask for your money back.
Calm down Karen. 4 years later and I’ll bet you’re really crotchety now.😂
