Default trans wont pull off unless manually shifted to low

stock 99 AW4. No slippage etc but when comes to a stop it will not pull off unless manually shifted into low. You can feel it try to pull but it wont until dropped down to low. Run it thru the gears manually and you can drive it anywhere. Any ideas?

Blow TCM fuse or bad solenoid.

Feeling like it's trying to start in 4th gear is usually either no power to the trans computer or bad #1 solenoid .

Free and easy:
  1. Adjust your kickdown cable.
  2. Check for a blown fuse in the TCM.

If those two don't fix it, it's time to start testing some solenoids.
