I have a 99 JGCL V8 4X4, 50k miles. Today the Check Engine light went
on and the transmission began to jerk from N to D and from 1st to 2nd
gear, something that never happened before.
I will try to go to AutoZone and have the code pulled, but any
information from good people will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Les

plusa did pass the time by typing:
Check the transmission fluid level for starters.

The light ninety nine percent of the time is a loose car cap. Pull
the codes by turning the ignition key until the digital odometer
displays, repeat three times in succession and then back to "On"
(On/Off, On/Off, On/Off, On). Code:

A transmitter wired wrong will cause that.

That also maybe could be caused by the TPS. The TPS controls some shift
points, I don't know about the neutral shift though.... The electrical
connection on it can always benefit from a clean though. Contact
cleaner is best but WD40 will do in a pinch.

The Jeep transmission also does 'NOT' have a high water vent like the
diffs and t-case so you should make sure it isn't half full of water...
It will look like purple milkshake if water is in the fluid.

I'd go with the gas cap if it weren't for the transmission also going
berserk. For that I'd almost guess a loose wire/ground somewhere as
I've not heard of TPS or CPS being that bizarre.

Bill,

Thanks. The code P0700 indicates transmission module fault code, and I
guess can be pulled by a dealer. The fault is often caused by
transmission input or output speed sensors. All this I have got from
your link. I'll try to clean connectors, and if this will not work,
replace sensors (or sensor - they are identical.

Re transmission fluid, as some suggested, that was the first thing I've
checked - clean, red, and correct level.

With the new ATF+4, the color is no longer an indicator.
