BanginOnABudget Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 So i have a 90' cherokee, 4.0 amc I6, with the auto 3spd trans, when i get on the throttle in my jeep, i can rev to about 1700rpm, then its like it slips into neutral, and i have to rev to about 3500rpm before it grabs again, and if i have the throttle down, holding at 1750-2000rpm in 3rd, and i let of the pedal slowly, it will shift down into 2nd, and wont shift up again until i get it to about 4000rpm, its been like this since i bought it last year, im more of an engine guy, but it seems like a bad torque converter to me, but like i said, im more of an engine guy, im not too familiar with the workings of auto-trans', so if you guys know what i could be, let me know. it has about 250k on the engine and trans so when i can i will be swapping it for another motor and trans with lower miles, but i'd like to know what the problem is before i swap. any ideas guys? Quote im taking out my passenger seat, battery is disconnected, going to unwire and take out the three amps, take out the 70+ lb box, then the platform so i can crimp 1 wire. Almost as bad as those fegs that put those horns in their grills and roll down the street distorting the block.... 1990 Jeep Cherokee 2 Dr. Big-3 in 0g on Stock Alt. Pioneer 6.5" and 5.25"s temp. until i can afford the new crescendos. Pioneer 6000ub Reciever NO amps at the moment. SA-15 on 1kw coming soon. MSG Me for a free enclosure design!! Flared port kits coming soon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingeriffik Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 My first guess would be a bad/worn out clutch pack. Once the clutches are worn, they can no longer keep friction, thus causing the slipping. Is it in 3rd only. If so it may be a worn band or a servo issue, that is if you trans has a band, it may not.
