The right way is to pull the white clip, make sure the cable housing moves freely within the holder. With the engine turned off of coarse, hold the throttle WIDE OPEN and the cable housing will adjust itself properly. Install the clip before returning the throttle from the wide open position. Done.. your 4.0 will seem like a hotrod with it shifting properly
So you saying this will work definitely for the 99 Grand Cherokee, remove white clip make sure it's free open throttle wide open reset the white clip and it should be good correct
Just did this adjustment, and followed the actual factory service manual instructions, which....have absolutely nothing in-common with what you typed here, sir. NOT "tHe RiGhT wAy", whatsoever. The FSM instructions worked great for me, though.
They can take it. There's even a WJ service bulletin for the 4.0 that states the exhaust valve sometimes doesn't rotate and sticks, and the fix for it is to hold the engine at 4500 for 15 seconds in gear. idle and repeat
Yea, you might want to read how to do this in the manual .... just a thought. Can't read? OK, general rule, over time it will stretch, so you would un- stretch by making the housing "longer".
The cable that you adjusted isn’t connected to the throttle body in my jeep. What does that mean? Like the wire is just hanging it doesn’t have the black clip holding it
Hi Kindlestone! Im 26 from Minnesota and since its cold as hell i actually broke the plastic connector for this cable! Can you please help if you have any suggestions other than replacing the whole cable!
@@southernNCfamily ya but your paying more for metal so your going out of your way to pay more for something that will decrease engine health. Just saying brother no knocking metal if its what your heart desires the i understand. But from a poor mans view who likes to make his work perfect but has to make his cash stretch.
2 things,when I remove the white clip I have to old the position of the cable,to make sure I don't loose the previous adjustment,how did yours hold its self,2,what is the name brand an where did you get your air filter an intake tube thanks
Anyone know what four hole injectors will fit in the 99 Grand Cherokee that's supposedly I heard from it's Ford and one guy said it's EB 1 / 9/17 . My money is tight but want to put a little more pep in the step if you know what I mean any ideas exhaust injectors throttle body I know a 62 mm they say it will work is it true thanks guys
Take the white clip off that cable, leaving the cable attached hold the throttle wide open and put the clip back on and you're done... If it still runs badly disconnect the battery take a zip tie or something put the positive and negative together making sure that they have contact leave it for about 35 minutes they say 30 but 35 to be safe this will reset your PMC and the TMC then start the Jeep hold it down to 2000 RPM's for about 5 minutes with your air conditioner full blast, then turn the air off and do it again for five minutes then drive it hard until it levels out at first it'll run like crap but after a few miles it'll feel like a different Jeep! The video isn't wrong but resetting the TMC is what controls the transmission and the only way to reset that is how I described. Doing this allows for the PMC and the TMC to readjust to the adjustments you made. The reason for running it at 2000 RPM's with the air on and off is only to set your idle to where it runs good with the air on or off.
I'm very late jumping in here but for those seeing this in the future those are Bosch 0280155007 injectors. Generally found in Dodge/Chrysler minivans. A good "upgrade" over the stock XJ injectors.
Any update on what fixed it for you if on the same situation Mine won’t shift out of first until like five RPMs and I have to let go to gas and sometimes it’ll shift and sometimes it won’t
@@mikepon6try replacing crank position sensor and cam sensor. Or possibly your shift solenoid is bad. I’m goingto be replacing them soon because I’m going though this myself. I’ll let u know how it goes.🇺🇸
Crashman 01 grand cherokee won't come out of 1st If you release gas it can. Guy says needs new trannie I just called him and told him to check throttle body sensor (saw below) Someone had put in a second hand throttle body a month ago. Guy said you just had one put in and I wondered if it could have been faulty Is there a way to check if bad?
@@kindlestone When this 1st happened Tran place said sensor and selenoid in tran would be the fix but $500 and no guarantee. So drove it home slowly. Went to this recent place and they said new second hand trannie $1100 Car is sitting in their lot They said they're ltrying to find one with less than 75000 miles on it.
Mine shifts from 2nd to 3rd at about 45 mph, and it's got me a little worried, becuz in traffic it's this up and down like I'm in a stick shift. I did your adjustment and adjusted it all the way out making the cable tight on the throttle body, and it improved a little. But it's still a high rpm. Got any ideas?

I apologize if that's repeating what you just said cuz it sounds like it to me in my head I just like to make sure I'm 100% correct
I have seen that work also.
Just did this adjustment, and followed the actual factory service manual instructions, which....have absolutely nothing in-common with what you typed here, sir.
NOT "tHe RiGhT wAy", whatsoever.
The FSM instructions worked great for me, though.
Where can I get another clip like the white one? I dont have mine... Pls
You can put the big struts from the back hatch of an xj and they last.
Thats nuts. My 4.0 never revs past 2.5k before shifting on a foot to the floor take off. Im afraid it would blow at anything higher than 4.5k lol
+Ashton Mugridge Lol!

@@Taydrum like with the wheels off the ground?
@@42WallabyWaySydney NO with a load on the engine.
@@Taydrum how do you do that without a dyno?
You are correct! That is exactly how it's done. Doing it this way eliminates all the guesswork!
never knew mexico had such high speed limits
What is that pale clip called? Mine broke and so the cable is loose
Holy shit! How often do you clean your engine?!
I had just cleaned it before this video lol.
@@kindlestone Man, I thought my engines were clean. You put me to shame. LOL! NICE!!!
I was just gonna say that engine is freakin clean as hell wow man. God bless
Yea that’s all I liked about this viddy hehe
Yea, you might want to read how to do this in the manual .... just a thought.
Can't read? OK, general rule, over time it will stretch, so you would un- stretch by making the housing "longer".
That's the part I got confused it doesn't make sense
The cable that you adjusted isn’t connected to the throttle body in my jeep. What does that mean? Like the wire is just hanging it doesn’t have the black clip holding it
It means the transmission has know how much throttle your giving it. I'm sure it does not drive vary well
Hi Kindlestone! Im 26 from Minnesota and since its cold as hell i actually broke the plastic connector for this cable! Can you please help if you have any suggestions other than replacing the whole cable!
If its just the little piece you pull out you could get it form a junk yard. If its the main part I'm not 100% sure how replacing that goes
Fixed my Pob thanks Will definitely be subscribing
Anyone know a name for this cable he is adjusting? i Just bought a 99 and the cable is broke.
my cable got slack in it and it still shifts to quick.
That’s a nice ass jeep🤤
You have a metal tube from your air intake to your filter i suggest you use plastic it absorbs less heat.
Yeah there is many things that I would change about this car now that I know more about cars and how they work!
Air flows better with metal vs plastic
@@dl3130 But the plastic stays cooler keeping the air cooler. Which is better for the performance.
It's a 4.0 wj, not a Corvette. "Performance" 🏆🤠

My jeep is doing the exact same thing.. won't shift out of first gear until about 4k rpms.. did you ever fix the problem? If so what was it?
That cable I messed with in the video should fix it but everyone says I said it backwards to fix the problem.
2 things,when I remove the white clip I have to old the position of the cable,to make sure I don't loose the previous adjustment,how did yours hold its self,2,what is the name brand an where did you get your air filter an intake tube thanks
It just kinda holds itself in. The intake tube is from Advance Auto Parts. Its like a 90 and the only long tube on the shelf.

What injectors and fuel rail are you running ?
Precision auto injectors Bosch 4 hole stock painted fuel rail.
I'm very late jumping in here but for those seeing this in the future those are Bosch 0280155007 injectors. Generally found in Dodge/Chrysler minivans. A good "upgrade" over the stock XJ injectors.
What does it matter if you’re in Mexico
I know right.
Carbon fiber?
Its vinyl wrap.
Mine shifts hard in between 1st - 2nd and takes forever to shift into overdrive I call it so I let off then it shifts
Have you been able to figure out the issue? I have the same problems
You need a new throttle position sensor, sucka'.
Any update on what fixed it for you if on the same situation Mine won’t shift out of first until like five RPMs and I have to let go to gas and sometimes it’ll shift and sometimes it won’t

thanks for the tips
Does this work for the 5.2L V8?
I would think any vehicle with a cable should have an adjustment. It could be different then what's in the video
@@kindlestone ok I’ll have to try later, my transmission has been giving me a lot of trouble and I want to see if this helps at all
Definitely didn’t fix the issue lol
Had to re-watch the video several times because every time it starts I get distracted by something shiny.😅

Hi bro
I have problem in my grand Cherokee 1996 is not shifting sometimes
I can’t get mine to move any suggestions
The clip wont come off?

I did your adjustment and adjusted it all the way out making the cable tight on the throttle body, and it improved a little. But it's still a high rpm. Got any ideas?
I wish I knew how to help you but, if your adjustments dont change anything it could be something else but not 100%.
He said that if u push it out it’s well extend the shift!

Video was helpful, but why do we care if your in Mexico. You said it a few times and I’m wondering the Significance of it.
Goodson Fam Lack of speed limits!
Mexico doesn't monitor YT and mail you citations for speed or reckless operation of a motor vehicle.
Mine shifts from sec to third way to fast like it don’t even stay a sec
Even when you move the wire?
ok i just moved it but mine wont move when u push down tthe gas peddle
@@stevebrown3169 Once you adjust the cable you need to put the clip back on or it will move freely
Doesn't mark the original position, pulls it out, pushes it in, pulls it out, guesses where it's good... SMH.....
Jeep life
u have to much slack in the cable u need to to try it on a hill
That lil white clip broke in mine what do I do?
Replace it with something it needs to stay still!
why would you post this video when its wrong
You never said positively it solved the problem.
Nice video
+Matt smith Thank you!
Nice hot engine air intake....
why would you post this video when its wrong
I did not post this knowing it's wrong. People can read comments if it does not work right which is why the video is still up.
