Default High rpms before shifting to 2nd gear

Hey guys, I have a automatic 94' XJ and I haven't had problems until a Lil while back, the problem is it shifts at high rpms just to get into second gear, after that it has no problemsgoing into 3rd and higher.
I changed the speed sensors and I keep an eye on the trans fluid and stuff like that that, and I stopped driving it and I cranked it up and brought it into town and now it's around 5000 rpms before it shifts into 2nd gear🤦‍♂️. Just trying to see if I have to fix or replace something, I read something about the crankshaft position sensor and idk if that's what it is or not.. any help? Thanks in advance🙏

I would test the throttle position sensor. Also adjust the throttle body cable
.

The crank sensor has no impact on shifting.
