Default 89 xj wont downshift.
I have a 89 2door xj with auto tranny. It doesnt downshift at all. When I try to take off in drive from a stop it boggs and feels like it has no power. So I have to manually shift it from 1/2 to 3 then to D to have any power. I was told it could be a an electrical problem. What can I do to fix it?
