cherokee auto gearbox problems
hi there everyone i have just purchased a 1997 cherokee 4ltr auto and seem to be having a few probs with the auto box.firstly when pulling off in drive it sometimes pulls away in what i believe to be second gear and gets stuck in that gear,if i stop and put it through the gears a few times or turn it on and off it pulls away in drive but seems to be just staying in one gear all be it a lower gear,it doesnt seem to change gear at all andsounds like it may be in around 3rd gear.any help and diagnostics would be very much appreciated..

not sure if the newer models have it but the older models had a trans control computer on the passenger side under the dashboard. would look there first, then check the plug on the side of the tranny to see if there may be a loose connection
