87manche Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 check the TV cable on the throttle body and make sure it's adjusted properly. It controls line pressure. to adjust, there should be a plastic button on the top. Push plastic button, pull the plastic housing thingy forward. Get in the jeep and push the accelerator to the floor. You should hear 2 or 3 clicks and then it should be set properly. I imagine that it's mushy when not in 1-2 because it's slipping when shifting. WHen you keep it in 1-2 you're likely hitting a higher RPM and generating the correct line pressure. of course it's speculation, but it doesn't take but 5 minutes to adjust the cable, and it's free.

ejndssn Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 i believe that there is a write up at this site www.lunghd.com which for rebuilding the neutral switch, also it may need an adjustment. That is what i did for a quick fix when mine was acting up in my 96. you may want to checck the retainer and see if it's loose too. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
