I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ with the aw4 transmission. I been looking around the internet for almost a year now for the problems I'm having but can't seem to find anyone that is having my problem.
So the problem, or problems:
When it's cold out the transmission will not shift until around 2500 rpms in 1st thru 3rd gear. This seems strange to me because everything I have read about this transmission is that it does not like heat.
My RPMs seem high in every gear. At 55 mph's I'm running at 2000 rpms. The fuel computer says I'm getting 21 to 24 miles per gallon on the highway, but in town it's like 11 mpg.
According to 3 different GPS units my speedometer is off like 5 mph, but everything is still stock.
When the transmission won't shift my oil pressure gauge maxes out until the transmission shifts.
I have changed the TPS as well as adjusted the kick down cable but nothing seems to make a difference. There is a strange sound coming from what sounds like the front end, almost like a bearing noise. When I put this transmission in I remember the torque making the same noise.
If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.
Thanks
