2001 WJ 4.0 Auto - No 1st Gear
Hi all,
I have a 2001 WJ 4.0 Auto and it won't shift to first, it runs all the other gears fine but pulls away in second.
If I move the lever to 1, then it engages fine. I can manually shift fine but it won't auto select 1st.
Any ideas appreciated please?
Mick

Old fart with a wrench
All but the first require getting into the transmission. If you're not fully aquainted with transmissions, I suggest you take it someplace for diagnosis.
