89 Chero auto trans mods, steering?
The automatic has 3 forward positions, (over) Drive, 3, and "1-2". Pretty
silly, on many of these mountain roads 3 is too high and if you put it in
1-2 it kicks into 1 unexpectedy.
Anyone know if you can modify the trans to go into 2 without enabling low?
The thing has a 4 inch lift on it, the pitman arm would be a 4 inch drop if
the shaft was vertical, but it's angled so it has effectively no drop and
the drag link is at about a 10-15 degree angle, probably causing the
oversteer. Is this a drop pitman arm, or stock?

That sounds perfect, except for this part,
After more than 12 years of providing the CompuShift Plus to Jeep Cherokee
owners we have decided to discontinue manufacturing the product. We have
reached this decision after careful consideration of the demand for it over
the past couple of years which has been insufficient to warrant continuing.
This website will remain up in order to warn Cherokee owners of the safety
hazard that the aw4 automatic transmission presents to operators, when used
in the 1-2 shift position. Thank you to all of our past customers. Jim
