Transmission Adjustment Cable 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
I have a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 4.0L engine. The transmission was shifting to late...even with very light acceleration 2,500RPM until it would shift from 1st to 2nd gear. This also made the shifts ruff unless accelerating mid-hard.
I adjusted the cable running down to the transmission at the throttle body and got it to shift nicely at light-moderate acceleration but now when it is floored it only goes up to 3500RPM and then shifts to the next gear. I've tried adjusting the cable but then it shifts ruff under light-moderate acceleration.
Is there anther adjustment? What could be causing this? Any other advice/ideas...?
Thanks for your help!

late shift is normal under hard acceleration. Ease up on the gas a bit and it should shift fine. if you want it to shift while floored, get a performance transmission.

That is an electronically - controlled transmission. Check your fluid levels and then remove the battery cable for about 5 minutes, reattach the cable and the transmission should re-learn the new shift points in a couple of days if all is well. The cable you adjusted is just for the throttle kick-down.

I suggest you go to Auto Zone and ask for the manual for the 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This book costs under $20.00 and will answer any and all of your questions about your wonderful Jeep.
