Car Forum / Jeep / October 200690 XJ auto tranny stuck
I just put an ad in the paper to sell the thing, its been sitting still for a month, and ran perfectly fine last time I drove it. I drove it down the street a short distance to swap out the tires and it would not shift outta 2 gear to get to 3rd. When I'm driving it and I move it to the 1-2 gear range it will slow down so it must be stuck in 2nd and can't get up to 3rd. I saw on here another person had a similar problem but his was stuck in high gear, this one is stuck in low gear. Turned out he had a solenoid problem. Before I go out there to start checking things out, is there anything else I should be checking? I brushed up the TPS sensor's connections already and it didn't help. Troy Try, Where are you located? I'm looking for an XJ. Carl >I just put an ad in the paper to sell the thing, its been sitting still for >a month, and ran perfectly fine last time I drove it.

And unfortunately this particular XJ came from NY so theres rust all over the bottom. But hey if you want it I can hold it for ya. Its 4x4 with part time and full time 4wd.

As for the problem, how does the fluid look and smell? Carl > Jacksonville, Florida. From what I remember of the frappr google map of > all of us, there's not too many of ya'll close to me.

I checked the level while cold and hot since it had both settings on the dipstick. I have a dog that likes to lay under the cars when its hot, is there anything he could have chewed on under there to make a problem? I doubt he did though cuz its all covered with oil under there.

Somewhere on the WWW there's a very good write up on trouble shooting it. >I just put an ad in the paper to sell the thing, its been sitting still for >a month, and ran perfectly fine last time I drove it.
