Transmission issue

I have a 1994 Grand Cherokee, in-line 6 cylinder 4.0 L. I am having some intermittent transmission problems with my Jeep, really frustrating. If I drive my Jeep for more that about 20 mins the Transmission shifts down into first gear and will not shift out. If I stop let it set for 5-10 mins it will shift fine through all the gears. I was wondering if anyone else out there has had this same issue and could point me in the right direction.

is it the Transmission Kickdown Solenoid ? or another one?
mines having the same kind of problems.

sometimes it will be in first and takes forever to shift out or it will start in 2nd and shift fine going up and when i get to a stop it only shifts down to 2nd.
am i dealing with a different problem?
