Chrysler 999
My transmission is not shifting correctly. It doesn't delay between 1st and 2nd gear or between 2nd and 3rd. there isn't a vacuum modulator or any type of electrical wire that i can find which would serve the purpose of determining when the trany should shift. I am able to shift manually. I think it may have something to do with the accelerator linkage, since i installed my EMPI. Any help would be great.

One what year is the jeep? Two, on the tranny, there is a tranny speed sensor. This sensor on chrysler made trannys are notorious for going out, my 99 Dakota (which uses the same tranny the XJ's and GC's use, and I think the auto TJ's as well) had it go out last year. It wouldnt up or downshift automatically. The sensor was 50$ and took me ten minutes and an adjustable wrench to change. If I remember correctly it was on the passenger side of the transmission, but I might be wrong... JMTC
The jeep is an 85 Cj7. I have found the sensor where the neutral and reverse switches conect to the transmition. Perhaps the speed sensor is also part of that conection. It is located on the driverside very close to where my shifter cable conects as well. I will have to look into replacing that.

Ok, on that model, isnt ran off of a sensor, uses a kickdown cable, runs from the top of the tranny to the carb unit. Either its broken, disconnected, or out of adjustment.
Yea that's what i was told. I have looked at the cable, but i'm not sure of how to adjust that cable. Thanks for the help. I will have to mess with it until i get it straightened out. Thanks again

To adjust the cable, it should have a type of clamp that you can loosen and adjust through the clamp, then tighten down. Best bet is trace the cable back to the tranny, and make sure the cable is intact with no kinks first.
