When driving its fine to start out but will not shift the rpms just keep going up. But when i let off the gas and get on it again it acts like its in neutral and wont move till it hits 2500 rpm. Any questions what i might ahve got wet and where the wiring for the transmission is .

Then take it on a 10-15 mile road trip to exercize the tranny and gears. Then re-assess the situation and see what works and what doesn't. 1977 CJ-7, fiberglass body, AMC 360 w/ headers, DUI ignition, Edelbrock intake and Holley 4150 carb, TF999, Dana 300, 4.56 gears lockers, York air comp, 4" susp lift, 2" body lift, BFG 35" M-T tires, Megashifter, AGR pump & box, REP8000 winch.

Any other ideas Josh Stefani Re: Shifting Problems [Re: josh_jeeper] #822035 06/30/07 04:38 AM Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 6,247 Bel Buckle, TN 4x4Wire Trail Leader The engine control unit should be on the passenger side fender well in the engine compartment. Also, there are a couple of cables by the air intake that you need to check. One is the throttle cable and it does pop out of the holder and will cause the rpms to increase if not firmly seated.
