93 YJ automatic tranny slip
 

93 YJ I6
Whilst accelerating on the heavy side the transmission noticeably 'slips' -
(RPM's stay elevated, engine revs, no drivetrain response).

This just recently has reared its head, I know zilch about tranny's. Fluid
level is appropriate and fluid color is a 'warm' red (not new red, not
severally off color).

Any thoughts?

Some, and one of them might even be correct. :]

First, make sure the kickdown cable on the throttle body is
attached and adjusted properly. There is a button you push
then you can move the cable body back and forth. Adjust it
just a tiny bit at a time. Further away = harsher shift
closer = more slip.

Your Jeep should have a diagnostics on the overdrive lamp.
Cycle the ignition on-off-on-off-on (not start) then watch
the lamp by the OD button. It blinks the same way the check
engine lamp blinks two sets of blinks with a pause in the middle
55 = end

If it's been a while I'd suggest getting the fluid and filter
changed. And while the pan is off, the bands adjusted.

Re: 93 YJ automatic tranny slip
 

Doug,

My '93 YJ I-6 auto tranny doesn't have an OD button (but I wish that it
did). Was that optional in '93? Where would it have been located?
BTW, mine has dealer installed Jeep A/C underdash unit. Could this have
eliminated/covered the OD control and light?
