Friday morning, about 30 degree's out. Parked in a slanted parking spot where the passenger side is raised a foot higher than the driver side. Vehicle turns on without any problems. No light indicators or computer sensors, sounds or alarms to alert of impending problem. Won't shift into any gear, reverse or drive. In a constant neutral. I didn't really give it much time to warm up. Haven't check transmission fluid levels. Can anyone give me a heads up as to what the possibilities are? Please keep in mind there were absolutely no warning signs of any shifting problem. Didn't hear or feel anything the night before on the drive home.

Replying to: jeepgirl00 (Oct 18, 2009 7:57 am) Check your fluid level HOT. Make sure the cable from the shift lever to the transmission is properly adjusted. You may think you are in Drive, but the lever slips back into Neutral without you knowing it because it's not really in the position you think it is. It's only half way. Another potential culprit is the park neutral safety switch. Make sure it works OK. If your symptoms involve brief periods where it is OK and then craps out, look for loose or corroded ground wire related to any electrical connections. Inspect contacts of connectors looking for anything that could cause poor contact (e.g. dirt, corossion). Don't try to physically clean a contact; you could damage it. Use a spray contact cleaner (techni-tool.com). If a contact looks bent out of place, you have no choice but to try and bend it back. Last spring I replaced the rear wiper motor on my jeep, but the problem turned out to be the contacts for the switch in the dash. Try the cheap solutions first. Go to the transmission shop as the last resort. |

| 2000 GC Limited, 4.7L. When sitting at a traffic light, my transmission will bump so hard that it feels like I've been rear ended. Also notice delays when shifting to R or D, and occasionally it seems to be hung up in 2nd gear when pulling away from idle. I need help fast, it seems to be getting worse. Fluid levels look fine, clean (light pink). I've read enough here to hope that it may be the TPS, solenoids or a cable. Really hoping to avoid the high price of a rebuild. Not afraid to get dirty, but I need direction. Any clues? How do I check the TPS? What am I looking for? | |
