Transmission
Hello, I have a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 5.2 v8. When taking off from a stop sometime it will take off in first and Sometimes 2 gear . Was wondering if anyone has had similar issues with there's or any info on how to fix it. Thanks Scott

Ok if I stop at a stop sign it doesn’t want to take off in first, it wants to take off in second. But the other times it will take off in first, it’s very intermittent. Trans fluid is good Thanks Scott

I'm not trying to be obnoxious, but did you check the fluid level in NEUTRAL?
It should say that on the dipstick. It makes a difference of about 1 quart and that's enough to make the trans do weird things.
