#4327 of 4609 Re: 1995 GC Trans no 3rd or OD [trimdesigns] by dandg Nov 20, 2008 (3:42 pm)
Replying to: trimdesigns (Oct 20, 2008 4:49 am) I used to manage a transmission shop,in fact bought a 94 JGC for $1.00 when the owner decided she did not want to put the 2500 in a rebuilt transsmisson.Just sold it and bought a 04 JGCL with 31k on it and will probably buy the 7/70000 Powertrain if it looks better for Chy suvival.   Now your trans, have they dropped the pan? Whats it look/smell like?If it has metal and smells burnt then pull the unit and have it rebuilt. Not sure how many miles but a 95 with anything over 70,000 is going to need a master rebuild kit and not just gaskets and seals.   You may have misunderstood the "new" transmission quote,there is no one that I am aware of that sells a "new" or fact reman unit for that.A good rebuild is over 2K,factory rebuild or a Japser is a bit more.For 1300 that might be a used unit,what is warranty on it?
#4328 of 4609 97 JGC V8-Internal Transmission Failure? by klsflyer Nov 22, 2008 (1:20 pm)
Check engine light on and very sluggish when accelerating. Having to push accelerator more than usual after stopping. Wouldn't you know on a weekend and my mechanic is closed. Fault sensor code (AutoZone) came up with P1763: Governor pressure sensor too high. Causes: 1)Internal transmission failure 2)Open or shorted circuit condition. Any ideas? Safe to drive? No misses or noises from the engine. Smooth gear transitioning. Start and idle with no signs/sounds of any problem. Biggest change is it takes more accelerator pressure than normal to get moving.

Replying to: s_morgan (Nov 23, 2008 10:54 am) TRY this----engine off---key in ignition--trans in neutral. Place foot on brake, hold it--at the same time turn key in this manner--on-off,on-off,on. Sometimes this will clear codes and problems.   If this does not work---disconnect the negative batt cable and let it sit for ten min. Usually this will clear any codes and bring everything back to normal.   The key trick clears my ck eingine light problems. Good luck Smokey Swann

Replying to: s_morgan (Nov 23, 2008 10:54 am) your problem is not computer related you have a air line,hose left unattached that is bleeding air in after the throttle body look for a open port before starting again.
#4333 of 4609 Re: Can 94 engine go in 90 Jeep Cherokee limited? [sassafrasnanc] by rself Nov 24, 2008 (8:13 pm)
Replying to: sassafrasnanc (Nov 05, 2008 4:56 pm) if both engines are the inline 6 then the answer would be yes you might have to change the motor mounts but they should bolt up the same.

Replying to: s_morgan (Nov 23, 2008 10:54 am) Still having red line fun? If you didn't find an air leak like one of the other guys suggested, you might investigate the crankshaft position sensor (CPS). When I was having some glitches with my CPS, on one reinstall, the engine did what you describe. Well, not to red line, but definitely ran away. After another remove, clean and replace, it worked fine. It's a bitch to get at. Behind the right exhaust manifold on the block where the bell housing bolts on. Might be worth a look.   Good luck --- Clip Replies to this message: troll157 (Nov 25, 2008 8:19 pm) paule (Nov 25, 2008 9:06 pm)

Replying to: clipkarn (Nov 25, 2008 7:03 pm) My '89 was doing the same thing awhile back, I'd have to shut it down. Difference is that after a couple of times, It'd get it's act right. You have cruise control? Was thinking about it awhile, you checked the throttle plate, Have you checked the Idle air motor? Maybe doesn't even have one, I don't know. Pintle doesn't move thoroughly and smoothly, the machine won't idle correctly. DON"T move the pintle in or out manually, messes 'em up, supposedly. I'd disconnect ALL linkage/sprin gs, etc. from the throttle-body and try it again. Hold the throttle shut with your hand, or something. Let someone else start it though, so's you might visually check the the mechanics of it all. I don't know what would happened if you were to remove the Idle-air-control motor and, CAREFULLY, metered the "controlled" air flow into the idle-air circuit manually. ie Shove a finger or such into the port the idle motor come from, stop or slow the air flow from the port inside, the port, and see what happens. Leave the motor connected to the harness, set it carefully somewhere safe and observe it's operation while you are at it. Oh, the cruise control..... Had a friend long ago, ME, got some vacuum hoses twisted around, and when I thought the'y'd "ONLY connect to those ports one way", It wasn't right at all. Vacuum came up -- so did the rev's--so did the vacuum--so did the rev's, etc. Scarry stuff isn't it? Spine jumps right out of the skin, huh?  At the time mine was acting-up, I'd considered making a plane out of it. Just wouldn't have been as much fun though. You be careful, patient and consider, carefully, what's going on, and you'll be just fine. Have fun. Replies to this message: paule (Nov 25, 2008 9:06 pm)

Replying to: troll157 (Nov 25, 2008 8:19 pm) I'd also check your throttle cable again. It almost sounds like it's "hanging" wide open. I had a Dodge Avenger way back when that the dealer replaced the head gasket on. When they put it back together, they hooked the cruise control return spring up wrong. So, the first time I used the cruise control, guess what. Yep, wide open throttle. I had to kill the ignition but not lock the steering column and muscle the car over to the side of the road. You should have seen the look on the face of the service manager when I took the car back in for them to check it out and I told him what had happened!
