SO I TAKE IT ALL PARTIES ARE STUMPED?
FIND YOU A SMALL TRANSMISSION SHOP WHO MIGHT OFFER OPINIONS, WITHOUT THE "JUST LEAVE IT HERE" OPTION
THESE DOG GONE COMPUTER CONTROLLED VEHICLES CAN THROW YOU FOR A LOOP
JUST TO "SLING SOMETHING AT YOU".........MAY NOT BE THE PROBLEM!..........I'LL SLING IT ANYWAY
I WAS AT JUST ONE OF THOSE "GOOD BACKWOODS TRANNY SHOPS" A FEW WEEKS AGO (HE'S HELPED ME OUT IN THE PAST WITH MY WIFES FORD ESCAPE), I STOP IN FROM TIME TO TIME, AND SHOOT THE BULL (ASK ABOUT PEOPLE I'VE SENT TO HIM) AND TAKE THE 2 FELLERS THERE COFFEE OR SOFT DRINKS...........THIS SORTA "RELATIONSHIP" KEEPS MY COSTS DOWN, WHENEVER I MIGHT NEED THEM!
WHILE I WAS THERE, THEY WERE EXPLAINING HOW THEY JUST FINISHED PULLING AND RE-INSTALLED A TRANNY FOR THE SECOND TIME (SYMPTOMS SORTA LIKE YOURS). SEEMS THEY FIGURED OUT IT WAS NOT AN INTERNAL PROBLEM IN THE TRANNY, IT WAS THE DANG THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS) ON THE THROTTLE BODY........IT NOT ONLY INPUTS DATA FOR THE ENGINE, IT ALSO "TELLS" THE TRANNY STUFF TOO.
HE WENT INTO THE WHOLE PROCESS OF WHAT WAS AND WASN'T HAPPENING BECAUSE OF THE TPS FAILURE......HE WAS REALLY WOUND UP AND INTO IT!............KINDA LIKE HOW I GET WHEN IT COMES TO ANSWERING A JEEP CJ 5 OR 7 HERE ON 2CARPROS!
HE GOT WAY OUT OF MY LEAGUE WITH HIS EXCITEMENT (THAT'S WHY HE GETS ANY AUTOMATIC TRANNY ISSUES THAT FALL ON ME....SUCKERS ARE COMPLICATED....EVEN OLD ONES WITHOUT A COMPUTER)
MAYBE YOURS WILL BE SOMETHING OVERLOOKED AND INEXPENSIVE............THERE'S ALWAYS THE "JEEP OPTION"!!!
MY JEEPS HAVE "STANDARD 3 SPEED TRANNYS"......SO DARN EZ TO WORK ON!
THEY'LL BE HERE FOREVER, "MR. JEEP" IS 37, "WILLY" IS 67 YEARS YOUNG, BOTH ARE DAILY DRIVERS
GOOD LUCK......LET US KNOW HOW IT'S WORKING OUT
