2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Hello everyone,

I have a question and hoping someone can help me with it. I have a 2000 grand cherokee 4.0L 2 Wheel Drive with a little over 200k miles and recently I started to have some shifting issues. Not sure if it is a transmission issue or possibly a faulty Governor Pressure Solenoid/Sensor, but I started to have issues with slipping or having a difficult time getting to 1st and 2nd gear, the RPMs were hitting 2500 before shifting, however, I did not have any issues with 3rd and 4th gear.

I decided to do a transmission oil tune-up and replaced the oil filter, governor, pressure sensor, and output speed sensor and that seemed to do the job but now it won't shift 3rd or 4th. I drove the jeep on the freeway over 50-60 miles and RPM's were going over 3500 and did not notice any shift to 3rd or 4th. I looked around the web and found that possibly it could be a faulty output speed sensor, so I replaced it with the original one and that seemed to do the job. Now the issue that I get is that at random times I get shifting issues with 1st gear then 3rd and 4th,.  Do you think it could possibly be a faulty Governor and or pressure sensor? I hate to want to remove the oil pan and replace those parts again but if that is the issue I don't mind at all. Please, anyone, I would greatly appreciate your help. If I am not explaining correctly please let me know and I can try to rephrase my work. 

FYI I have put Lucas Transmission oil and the same thing.

 

Thank you all

Well Rance is in gas. Find a guy like me with a high level scan tool. When we road test them we can watch the solenoid. See what the shifting is going on and actually bidirectionally test those things without just guessing. Otherwise, you just guessing and then Sky's the limit on what you'll spend and whether it'll get fixed or not
