1987 Jeep Cherokee Pioneer Transmission Problems
For some reason my Jeep transmission fails to engage when I put it
into any gear. I have an automatic transmission with 4WD. Sometimes it
goes into gear and sometimes it doesn't. Also, the 4WD light will stay
on whether its in 4WD or not. Someone told me to check the Throttle
Position Sensor for the tranny. Can anyone confirm this as the
possible culprit or, give some advice on what to look for? Thanks in
advance.

Hi John,
Cold, an automatic transmission will not move when the oil level is
at the one pint add mark, hot.

Re: 1987 Jeep Cherokee Pioneer Transmission Problems
Forgive me if I'm way off base here, I'm just a Newb, but I have the same
'feature' with my 4X4 light staying on. I have a standard 94 YJ.
The light stays on all the time unless I physically get out and take off the
vaccuum thingy from under the Jeep, next to the passenger front wheel. No
big deal, I can tell it isn't engaged even when the light is on - I just
figured it got blocked with mud and it can't release the vaccuum enough to
get the light off but enough to disengage the 4X4. I don't have any tranny
problems though, so I can't tell you if your light problem is related to
your tranny problem.
I don't think the 4X4 light thing is a big deal- is it?
Yep, I'm a Jeep n00b but I hope I helped you. :)

Re: 1987 Jeep Cherokee Pioneer Transmission Problems
Thanks for the advice. So, you are suggesting that I add more fluid?
And, what do you mean by hot? Thanks again.
