Jeep Comanche and Jeep XJ Cherokee Aisin AW4 Transmission Solenoid Removal and Testing 

Excellent video. I'll be doing this myself in several hours. I did forget to order a transmission pan gasket so I'll have to pick that up. You definitely saved me some hassle there. !! I bought a remanufactured one several years ago and my pan doesn't have a drain plug, neither did the original. I bought a drain plug that can be installed into the pan after you drill a hole so that process isn't so messy in the future.

Hey and Wow. You make it looks so easy. Thanks for the tips...

What a great video, you saved me a sh!t load of headaches 👍

Great video.....world is definitely changing

I am having trouble with my aw4 not shifting back to 1st gear when stopping the jeep at a light or stop sign, thus I have to use the shifter to force the aw4 back into 1st gear, and then shift it to drive after getting the jeep up to 25 MPH. Sooner than later I am going to change transmission filter and gasket, and just because...the shift solenoids too, but I will definitely do the tests that you did, so I can make sure there isn't an electrical wiring problem. Thanks, dude!! Very helpful info!! Thanks a million!!

Thanks for taking the time.......... great

Thanks for the video! Well done, hopefully this will help me figure out why my 97 Cherokee won’t shift out of 1st

Thanks for a great video. My 96 Jeep Cherokee Sport stopped going into any gear It will not reverse or go forward. This was after a 4 hour drive home . I did have some wires (3) that were chaffed going around the dipstick. They were bare wire all touching each other and the metal dipstick. I repaired them by cutting out the bad parts and splicing in new wire. I also had (2) more wires below that went to a sensor. I fixed them too. Prior to this the jeep started and posted check engine. Now she starts and purrs with no error. It just wont go into any gear forward or reverse. I plan to look at the solenoids. Do you think this symptom is indicative of a solenoid failure?

Very good presentation thanks

Thank you. Trying to figure out what to do with 97 XJ automatic, not shifting into second at times and check engine light on. Scan tool read a solenoid code. Has over 217,000 miles on vehicle. I bought it used, so don't know all her history. Was told not to change transmission fluid, with the mileage she has.

Getting a P0740 code on my 00’ Cherokee. Just checked my TCC solenoids, they’re all reading 13-14ohms. What’s my next step for troubleshooting this CEL code?

Had a p0740 check engine light, pulled the solenoids and sure enough the TCC one wasn't clicking.

Thank you

I realize this is an older post, But I have a 1997 cherokee aisin aw4 , and I am going to put a 94 aisin aw4 as replacement, do you have any tips on how to wire up the 7 pin connector to the 5 pin connector properly, or is it same color wires needed (aside of 4x4 indicator light)thank you.

thank u so much

My trans works great except wont lock up. Stop light switch is good cruise does not work either. Could the lock up sel be bad?

I've got a 98 xj and I keep getting a P0700 code and I tried replacing the computer and still get same code.. ive had a filter and fluid change but not a flush.. so now I've bought new solenoids and thinking about doing a flush. My fluid is still kinda dirty. I haven't installed the solenoids yet.. do you have any suggestions? Thanks for the great video by the way..

Hello mate I've got some problem with my jeep xj 1992 when is cold it never goes to reverse if its hot it will not go either unless if i give gas arround 4000rpm then it goes so hard and fast like someone flipped a switch could you please help me?

I have an xj 97 and when it's cold it doesn't go into second gear until it reaches its working temperature and it grips well all the time, what could it be? Thank you

As a former AutoZone employee, ALWAYS CHECK YOUR PARTS. All my old coworkers, even the store manager, act like they know shit and will just bull shit you to get you to stop bothering then so they can go back to all the shit that district is bitching about, they are always understaffed and overwork their employees all the while paying them minimum wage. I started out $1.75 over minimum wage and by the time I left I was only 24¢ over minimum wage, and I am an ASE certified technician! They don't pay their employees enough to care about the customers cars, and then the customers treat the employees like they're the all knowing God. While working there, if I didn't know the answer to your question, I'd Google it. But it couldn't use my phone to Google it, nnnnooooooooo. Even though my phone is 8,776,543,346,799,764,654,322 times faster than those fuckin computers.

Sometimes I have a delay from 2 to 3rd gear and sometimes it dont shift into 4th gear..

Everytime I don't put them in the bag at least one or two or something gets lost so I put them in the bag and I lost the bag

Transmission shops are big rip-offs, especially Aamco, I spent almost 2000$ on a supposedly rebuilt job, after one year I changed the fluid, found out my old solenoid's were still In place, the tranmy was not removed, I could tell, since I had my XJ new, I think they just cleaned the solenoids and put em back.
