Shifting issues from 1st to 2nd (32RH transmission)

[TJ_owns_a_TJ]

2000 4.0 automatic with the 32RH transmission, trans was rebuilt a month ago and the shift from 1st to 2nd is still really rough. I can see the RPMs revving up and it gets really hard to goes forward then it just jumps into the second gear and goes fine from there. Not sure if I just should take it back to the shop under warranty or if there is an easy fix for this. Any help is appreciated.

First post here, but something I stumbled upon the other day on here was an adjustment on the kickdown cable next to your throttle cable. May be worth a google. There was a ZJ vid linked in the comment of that thread.

There is a sequence to reset the kickdown cable. I have done it before and it fixed the problem. I don't remember the steps though.

Thank you for link - I tried adjustment and got it to where it wasn't slack with accelerator at idle, unfortunately that did not resolve the issue so I took it in limp mode back to the transmission shop to have it looked at under warranty - hoping it is not something too serious.
