P1756 = Mid presure malfunction, governor, sensor, etc.. When the governor sensor malfunctions it can cause damage to the clutches. Change out the governor & solonoid. Below is a link for a good video regarding repair of this problem.

    It is definately the governor pressure solenoid on the valve body. You CAN do this project yourself, I am getting a pan drain kit before I do this so I can save my fluid, as I'll need to be doing a front seal soon, and it'll make tranny work so much easier, and reuse the newer fluid. I'll also do a filter, the tranducer, band adjustment and shift kit while I am in there, all good videos on Youtube to do the work from, I have 175K on mine, and maybe this way with a complete fluid changeout after the leak is fixed, I'll make it past 200K before I need a new trans.:) Hope this helps someone out.:)

    Also, I also just got back from a road trip when I picked up this problem, and the tranny had been topped off a quart low just before the trip. It started out feeling like I had brakes dragging or pulling a small trailer, but it was starting out in second gear instead from a stop, and not downshifting at stops. I checked fluid levels in "N" after warming up the fluid on a short drive and topped off the fluid again (losing about a cup a week now out the front seal), but the normal shifting never came back after adding a cup, driving, then re-measuring level in tranny, then adding a cup again and then driving again, kinda crept up on it to see if was improving, but to no avail, gotta get parts coming to do the work.:)

Can i use a transmition from 1998 grand cherokee laredo 4wd to a jeep laredo 1998 4.0 4wd. will work same trnsmition?

Hi Jose, I've never tried but if you go visit a breakers yard and compare the physical dimensions of both boxes and they match up, there is no reason why they should not. Most manufactures use the same units in a variety of models and if you've found a similar vehicle with identical uses the parts are most likely interchangeable. Regards John

P1756 is the code I am getting when my check engine light comes on in my 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited

Hello,

Trouble code P1756 means: Governor pressure not equal to target at 15-20 ps
Governor pressure in the trans is not correct. Fairly easy fix. Drop the trans pan and get a governor pressure solenoid from your local dealer. Bolts in pretty easy.

I hope this helps. Mike from fixya

Your Kick down cable is either on too short or come off completely. Check that first before you spend any money on anything else or transmission overhaul

Taking a while to go into gear

Check the fluid level of the transmission.The model number in your vehicle is the A500,also designated the 42RE.With this trans,the fluid level is checked with the trans in Neutral,and the parking brake set,with the vehicle on level ground.If it is low on fluid,then there is a leak that must be located,and repaired.

Jeep 4wd auto trans

while moving about 2-5 mph, shift your transmission into neutral but keep the vehicle rolling, then move the transfer case shift from 4HI to 2HI.
