I just bought a 96 jeep cherokee country. Its the first jeep ive ever owned so i dont know much about them. The transmission has a weird problem. When you put it in drive and try to take off it slips or actually just feels like it is in third gear trying to take off. If you put it in first gear and manually shifts great with the exception that it only stays in 2nd gear for a split second before it shifts to 3rd on its own. When you come to a stop it does it all over again. It also will not downshift when you step on it and the kickdown isnt broken. Im sure the tranny is not in good shape because the tranny fluid is burntand it has 140K on it but like i said it shifts great when you manually shift it. Any ideas on where to start? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
