Alright i have a small issue if you could help me figure out the issue id appreciate it alot. I have a '98 wrangler se (auto 2.5) and when i put it in drive it tends to take off in 2nd. If i take off using the manual shift its fine. Fluid levels are fine no water in tranny. Any ideas what it could be?
 
I have no idea what tjs have for auto trans however. I had a 98 Cherokee that did this and I had to replace the pressure sensor and solenoid in the trans pre common.
