96 XJ 4.0 auto transmission trouble
Took my Cherokee to the outer banks to do some fishing and drove it in the
sand until noticing it was overheating. Immediately stopped and let it cool down and realized I was losing coolant. Replaced the water pump and thermostat after carefully driving it home but now the transmission shifts from first to overdrive if I have it in D, or first to third if in 3. Fluid level is normal, and other than the shifting problem it runs fine. has anybody seen this problem and is there a fix (other than replacing the transmission)? thanks, JC |

Hi JC,
I betting your Throttle Position Sensor is drench in coolant, try blowing it out with WD-40 and air pressu http://members.cox.net/wilsond/tb/tb.html God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O http://www.billhughes.com/ JC wrote: > > Took my Cherokee to the outer banks to do some fishing and drove it in the > sand until noticing it was overheating.

The TPS on the throttle body controls shift points. When they get
contaminated with stuff like salt water or coolant, they can act strange. A good spray clean with contact cleaner or WD40 on the TPS connection might be needed.
