Good day, folks. My daughter is turning 16 in a few months and I picked her up an 04 TJ Sport. It is the Solar Yellow, Automatic, with a Dana 44. It needs love, but pretty solid. There are a few issues I am working on (there is a leak somewhere, but fluid levels never go down), we have pretty good passenger Jeep Lean, and, what I am looking for answers here for, the automatic transmission shifts through the gears fine, 4wd works, 4 low works. The issue is, the shifter in the cab will not shift into 1st gear. Now, I did not want to post this for fear it has been talked about, but I have been scouring the internet and forums for a few weeks now and cannot find ANYTHING about this. Again, the shifter will not go into 1st. Every other gear is fine. The rig shifts from 1st up to OD just fine. What am I missing? I even thought the little off white balled shaft in the shift handle might be the culprit, but it is intact and working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If, by chance this has been talked about on the forum, I do apologize. Thank you in advise for any assistance. Take care all and have a great day!
