its in a 2002 grand Cherokee that we just bought this week,it starts out in second gear then downshifts to low after about 20 feet or so,it was low on fluid and i topped it off,no change,will a fluid/filter change fix it,or does it need a governor pressure sensor and a governor solenoid?,its my understanding they can be changed with just the pan off?,car has 153xxx on it,its a 4.0 engine thanks in advance!! it does not slip,manual low works fine

I would replace the sensor and solenoid, a fluid and filter change won't fix that.

i dont know how to post pictures,however the parts of the ring i found(3 pieces) all measure .200 wide and about .080 thick,im told by a trans guy that its the od snapring,trans has 153xxx on it,,im thinking its overhaul time!!,id like to be able to do it myself but age and health prevent it,,the last A500 i did in my old dakota (hyd shift) cost about $300 in parts,now it looks to be 5 times that to have it done and i furnish fluid and transducer and solenoid!!!

If it's similar to a 46re, it's probably the snap ring in the OD. Found pieces in the Durango pan when I did the solenoid deal on it (prior to the 5 spd. swap). You can remove the OD from the trans in the car and replace the snap ring. I used a press but there may be a special tool for compressing the spring. Read up on it if you want to try it. Be very careful with the spring as it has lot of pressure on it and you could get seriously hurt it it gets away from you. Tim

that OD snap ring is a common fail and can result in the transmission locking up ----it is not hard to fix-----the OD unit ubolts off and the tranny guy needs to use a big press to remove the last few pieces and replace..... Yep saw the OD snap ring break many times myself over my years at a Dodge dealer. Ron
