I'm not understanding. Can you explain a bit better? The shift to second gear has issues?

Does first gear work if you shift manually to 1-2?

I have nearly the same prob on my 89XJ.. it locks the axels when i shift it to park but nothing happens when i shift to either gears that should move the car in any direction.. i should add that i have just lifted the heep 3.5" but it ran a day after that.. it started slipping as a burnd cluch would and then finaly no movment.. but it still locks in park.

Try shifting manually. 1-2, then 3, then 4. See if that works correctly. Let us know what happens.

Then the mechanical parts of your tranmission are OK. You have an electrical control problem.

Exactly what happens when you take off from a stop with the transmission in "D"?
What gear do you start out in?
Does it shift from 1st to 2nd?
2n'd to 3rd?
3'rd to 4th?
Are the shifts happening at the appropriate RPM, or does the engine rev up really high before shifting?
