trans still same
kind of annoying. 


notice there is a hack fix on the TV cable.  going to try and swap that first, and adjust it as per web instructions. 
if not, going to try and research governor sol / governor pressure sensor. 
if that fails ill pull the trans and replace with spare.  lines weeping anyway. 

still need to get inspected.  dropped tank, cant find LARGE evap leak to fix code.  smell gas in rear on multiple occasions upon shut down.  maybe its as simple as a bad gas cap?  hoses and clamps all new and tight.  canister lines look good.

There's any codes set for the trans?

When it shakes, the rpm bounces? It slips or it felt like it either upshift/downshift or TCC lock/unlock?

The light isn't as simple as a factory dome override switch activated or inoperative, is it?

seems inop


dome rear has a switch to turn on or off doom lights with doors open, i am thinking its a power issue in the hatch since i have never had that light or any of the doom lights come on.  door panel courtesy lights work as they should. 

the vic is also gone, but sure if that has anything to do with it.

hopped on thruway yesterday to go see mom, realized tank was empty, stopped in Batavia to fill.  proceeded to pump 22.5 gallons into the jeep and 1.5 gallons on the ground.


Evap leak probably coming from top of tank somewhere lol. 


guess the tank needs to be dropped again and inspected / gasket changed 
bah

bipassed whatever is wrong with heater control so has working heat and defrost
dropped tank and changed fuel pump/sending unit. 

tank to pump had NO gasket present- gross evap leak identified.
now fuel gage reads empty.  cant win.
