@Raymond Larcom The shifts had jerks. So it would not shift to the next gear and the engine will rev up and then the transmission will shift with a kick.

Wonderful. Thank you for the comment.

Adjusted rear band? I recently replaced the same part and have the same issue repeating.

Great, I am glad that my video was helpful.

Great to hear! Glad the video was helpful.

Wonderful that the video helped you solve the issue.

You should find the error codes if check engine light is firing off. Here is one of the first videos I did on how to check error codes on these WJs - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i510rbR_ztvOaJc.html.

My Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ came with a small transmission cooler next to the radiator. I am not sure if it was included in all WJs or ones with a trailer package only. I do tow with this Jeep, so very necessary to have a tranmission cooler.

Indi the transmission cooler that comes with the tow package is pretty useless.Doing a google search you can find transmission cooler that makes a difference in performance.

I run two 12 by 13 inch transmission coolers and a deep Pan from PmL nine quarts to fill in my supercharged wj,so far I haven’t gone over 160 degrees.

I am glad to hear that the video is helpful.

Good to know. Thank you for the comment.

Was it delivered from the Amazon Mopar store? I would ask the seller why it is not Mopar as advertised. I will not recommend anything other than OEM Mopar part from a reputable Mopar vendor.

Good idea to replace that spring as part of service. It is pretty inexpensive.

You are welcome.

You should replace the solenoid if not already replaced. That should fix your issue. Also use OEM Mopar parts. I have the links in the description - amzn.to/33bgLz1 or amzn.to/37b8PRV. Also check the accumulator spring. It is a good idea to replace that when you are at replacing the solenoid.

Any time

Thank you.

Glad it was helpful!

You are welcome!

Thank you

Check the cooling fan and see if the small trans cooler is working well. If you have cooling fan issues, check my other video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gc6Fd619zLLYcoU.html for electrical fan or this one kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9idjb15t9XedZs.html for clutch fan.

Go for it!

The transmission number is on the side of the transmission itself. My Jeep WJ has a Select Trac (you will see this on the transmission lever) and the engine is a 4.0 L Inline 6. These have a 42RE Transmission. The bigger engines (4.7L) have a Quadra Trac II transmission and possibly a 44RE. Note that some parts for a 1999-2000 42RE are a bit different than the 2001-2004 42RE. So make sure you are getting the correct part (e.g. solenoid) for exact fit.

Can also look at the door jam, a lot of info there...or by your Vin #, call jeep give them number.

I have leaks when I switched the pan with Dorman aftermarket pan with the drain plug. I kept the same gasket that came with the car. I might switch the gasket at some point or switch to the original pan which may be stronger than the aftermarket one to seal better. If you are using the original pan, then try a new gasket and let us know how that worked. Also see my other video on left turn issue - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNGKpJeq0aiuh2w.html.

Thank you, glad to hear the video was helpful.

Is it not downshifting to first? Or is it not engaging even during start? Yes, once you open the transmission pan, you can access the solenoid and pressure sensor. The solenoid is the one that goes bad mostly, so you can try replacing that first. Also check the accumulator spring (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9xzksaD37DOgIE.html) and make sure you have enough transmission fluid (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNGKpJeq0aiuh2w.html). Both will give trouble with shifting.

@@DIYWithIndi thanks for replying. It will not shift into first gear unless I release on the accelerator at around 2,200 rpm and feel it engage. All other gears including overdrive work and shift smoothly.

@@alfredolopez-bruce6199 The usual suspects are low transmission fluid (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNGKpJeq0aiuh2w.html), broken accumulator spring (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9xzksaD37DOgIE.html) or bad solenoid (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hppirZen1tTQo3U.html). You may be low on fluid. The first thing I will check. See the first video link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNGKpJeq0aiuh2w.html on how to properly check fluid level.

The usual suspects are low transmission fluid (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNGKpJeq0aiuh2w.html) or broken accumulator spring (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9xzksaD37DOgIE.html) or bad solenoid (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hppirZen1tTQo3U.html). I will check the accumulator spring for problems with downshifting. Note that mine is a 42RE transmission, probably not the same as yours with a 4.7L engine.

Adjust the kick down cable

My pleasure 😊

Engaging from 1st to 2nd gear problem may be related to either low transmission fluid (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNGKpJeq0aiuh2w.html) or bad solenoid. I am not sure about measuring the solenoid with multimeter. Possibly someone on the internet has an answer. I will suggest replacing the solenoid when you change the oil.

Yes, you will surely see issues shifting on the highway.

Thank you so much 😀

No, there was no error code for this.

That is the opposite of what mine was doing. Mine shifted erratic when the transmission was hot. You may want to replace the solenoid if you have not changed it in a while.

@@DIYWithIndi I replaced the black one recently the pressure sensor not the governor.

You won't get codes for hard shifting. Replacing the solenoid will help. Change the fluid if you have not done it recently. Also check the accumulator spring - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9xzksaD37DOgIE.html.

Good choice on the color. Still own it and drove it for multiple long drives recently.

@@DIYWithIndi That's awesome, I'm glad your jeep is doing good. I'm getting ready to do maintenance in my vehicle now, you're videos helped me so much and saved me over a thousand dollars rather than going to the mechanic. Thank you very much and take care.

Possibly yes, the gap of the solenoid that sticks out is very important. You can revert back to the original one to make sure it is the cause. I always recommend genuine Mopar parts though they can be expensive.

@@DIYWithIndi thank you. I just bought one from the link in the description

@@aydinmatney8622it’s not best to reuse the fluid correct.. i just recently changed my fluid and now i think my solenoid is going bad (p0783) now i have to drop the pan again 🤦🏽‍♂️

Glad to hear the video was helpful. The spring is called 3-4 Accumulator Spring - amzn.to/35guOWB (see the links in description above). I have a couple of videos on the cooling fan replacement and clutch fan. I gave up on the electric fan because of that relay issue. The clutch fan has been working well so far.

This is the governor pressure solenoid.

Your 2002 Jeep WJ has a V6 or I6? It should be all inline 6 cylinders. If so, it is also 42RE transmission. You can check the fit on the Amazon link I provided - amzn.to/33bgLz1 or amzn.to/37b8PRV

Very possible it is a broken accumulator spring, but there are other reasons too. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9xzksaD37DOgIE.html

You are probably hearing the clutch cooling fan. I have another video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9idjb15t9XedZs.html .

Should be. If you follow the links in the video details to product pages on Amazon, it will check the fit for your jeep.

@@DIYWithIndi so the transducer pressure says it don't fit

@@cs9064 You are correct, the pressure sensor transducer 56028196AD does not work for 2000. It applies to 2001-2004 - store.mopar.com/oem-parts/mopar-pressure-sensor-transducer-56028196ad.

Seems like the part # for 2000 is 68164850AA amzn.to/3NYq7E4 which is replaced by 56028196AD. Verify it by searching the internet.

@@DIYWithIndi yes correct will do but I think the one u have listed is correct but thank again for ur time an help.

Not sure, depends on where you live. Parts will cost couple of hundreds and should be an hour of labor. So I am guessing $300-$400.

Interesting that I have also noticed slippage while turning. Now that you said 'left turn', I have to confirm that it happens on left turn only. In my case it happens when the transmission is cold and I ignore it since it happens at low speeds. I would suggest the usual transmission maintenance - dirty or low fluid, dirty solenoid and pressure sensor (I have to replace pressure sensor in mine). The other item is to tighten the bands. I have not tried tightening the bands yet. Let us know if anything else fixes your issue.

Hey man did u ever figure it out my trans is doing like the exact same thing to a tea would love to hear back thanks

I've topped off the fluid and check it regularly. Seems to have taken care of the issue for a few months now. I did find a leak at the line connection to the trans fluid cooler too. Hope it helps.

@@bobby_mojo413 thanks u saved me from droppin a tranny pan today👌

@@andrewwarren5554 excellent

The spring gets brittle with age. I should have replaced it years ago.

@@DIYWithIndi do a video about the TV cable how to ajust it.

Do you have a part # on the spring you replaced? Great video..

@@jesseochoa5826 what code show You with this issue ?

@@pakoobregon2880 P1762 on my 2001 GC laredo 4.0 6 cyl. If you have this Jeep, you can put the car in on and off 3 times ( don't start engine just in and off position, on third dash board will give you the code
