Hi I'm new to the group and jeep scene.. I got an 89 2 door automatic with a 4.0 and it has a couple issues.. Mainly trying to figure out y I have to start in first gear to take off.. When I try to take off on drive it seems to be stuck in a high gear and will not down shift. I have to manually go thrust the gears every time I drive.. Verrrryyyy annoying as u could imagine. Any info will help and is much appreciated.

 

Very good possibility the fuse to your Transmission Control Unit is blown or corroded.

 

U are a life saver man.. I rushed to the jeep and wat do u know. A BLOWN 7.5 fuse.. so I stuck a 15 in it and works like a ****ing dream.. thanks for a fast responce.

 

Great!! Gotta love simple, huh?

 

Hell ya.. if u lived in vegas I'd buy u a beer.. wat causes it? Overload?

 

I'm thinking corrosion. Sometimes that's all it is and the fuse is fine.

You'll probably never have to deal with it again.

 

A buddy has the same issue. He's gonna be stoked to fix his now 2... thank u again..
