RE: 94 XJ6 TRANSMISSION PROBLEM
Um, why did they change the cylinder heads...was that part of the evolving into the X300's? Did they have any problems with the different cylinder heads? Because the newer style Cherokee (1997-2001) then ut of production. They changed the cylinder heads in late 99 and the 2000 & 2001 models had TERRIBLE cylinder head issues where actual coolant was getting into the engine and oil...trust me I know..my mom has a 2001. Just a thought!! Didnt know if you knew of ne issues with that change in 94 because I had to awareness of that.

RE: 94 XJ6 TRANSMISSION PROBLEM
I'm not really sure why the did it. It wasn't a quality issue. All the 4.0 in line 6 engines are solid. And, then they changed it again in 95 with the X300. I just finally decided it was safer to leave this one unsolved.

RE: 94 XJ6 TRANSMISSION PROBLEM
While everyone's talking about Transmission problems and such, any idea on why my '93 XJ6's tranny is acting funny. On every few start ups (2-3) the gear lights on the shifter will be really dim and while this is happening, the transmission will not shift out of 1st gear, and when put into reverse or drive, there will be a pretty hard jump. But a few miles of driving and stopping (2-20 miles) the lights will go back to normal and the car will work properly. I've taken it to NAPA and they've tried to play with it and took it to his Jag specialist (Jag dealer won't look at models older than '96), they said they fixed the problem (changed the alt, replaced some connectors) butproblemwasn't solved, I've called him and told him the problem is still here but refuse to take it back until I have an idea of what's wrong, I'm not mad at him because this is a ghostly problem. Any takers???

On the driver's side of the transmission you will see an octopus looking thing with wires going up towards the shifter. Loosen the three bolts so that you can move the rotary switch, but do not remove the bolts. Put the ignition in the run position and without the motoring running. Move the rotary switch until the light goes out and re-tighten the bolts. Do not move the rotary switch very much. I would be surprised if you had to go a 1/4 of an inch in either direction.
That's my guess and it's free to try.

We will see how long I can get away with this.
