Ok so this is a weird problem that I have never had or even heard of. Every time I start up my Jeep in the rain (correlation doesn't necessarily equal causation) I drive a out of my street and turn. After that turn it seems like it stays in first gear for a bit no matter how hard I try to give it gas. Never happens again after that first turn. I may have worded this because it is such an odd problem. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Full of fluid ?

Check out the throttle position cable for the transmission quick fix thread. My green one use to hang out in first for a few seconds then shift when first accelerating when everything is cold.

Tried making a left turn to see if it happens? Just saying...

thanks guys I'll check out the various options. Like I said it only happens the first turn after I start it even if I let it warm up.
