Will this do damage?

Not as long as you row through the gears like you should.

[decathect]

you mean manually shift them?

[1996xj]

wouldnt u have to skip from 1st to 3rd, since there is no 2nd gear selection?

[Timo_90xj]

Yeap, you're skipping 2nd gear. But, unless you are driving a lot on heavy traffic, won't do any damage. ..and knowing the shift points of the AW4, 3rd is usually engaged at very low speeds anyways

[decathect]

So it just doesn't shift? Ok thanks, good to know.

If you floor it and hold the pedal down, 3rd doesn't engage until you top 80.

Well, if you keep it in 1-2, it won't shift to 3rd at any speed - at least that's how it was on mine when I somehow managed to blow the +12V feed fuse of my TCU. ..and it shouldn't change from 1st (when 1-2 selected from the lever) with the TCU disconnected, because the tranny is mechanically forced to stay on 1st.

edit: of course, that's why one should use the lever to shift to 3rd from 1st if the TCU is broken/ disconnected.

If I floor it I grab 3rd around 55mph... Maybe some adjustment is needed.

You sure it isn't dropping to 2nd?

Oh, you guys meant floor it AT 80mph. I thought you meant hold it down off the line.
