94 xj aw 4 shifting.

[CThurmond]

I have a 94 jeep cherokee 4.0 aw4 np231
It drives great down the road shifts smooth trans fluid is good.
But it seems to want to start in 2nd gear at stop signs and on hills it almost wont go at all from a stop. BUT if i put the jeep into 1-2 it shifts into first and has great power from a stop on hills.



I know dodges have sensors that go bas inside the trans that cause similar issues. Anyone one had this problem?
Any ideas?

Filter in the valve body is stopped up.. And clutches is where the particles came from. Mine lost first and fourth. Drop the valve body and clean the filters. They are only like 1/4" in diameter. PM me I can provide you with the service manual page on it.
