SOURCE: Not catching 2nd gear

Check the level and condition of your tranny fluid.
Check the level with the car running, in park.
The fluid should be a pink or bright red color.

SOURCE: My jeep will drive normally

maybe the speed sensor on the transmission monitors transmission speed and sends info to computer to control shifting not sure if this is helpful

SOURCE: 96 jeep cherokee 4.0 automatic has very high revs

The condition you reported is either a control problem or "flaring" both are pressure related. I suggest you have a reliable trans shop test drive it. If it's a control problem (late shifting) there are external adjustments that can be made. If it is flaring, that is internal and may require a rebuild.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the help. We still do not know exact problem but are going to try some tranx to hopfully break down any varnish or junk then replace fluid"

Check your transmission fluid level. If the unit is low, the oil sloshes away from the pickup and a burp of air runs through the unit causing momentary slippage. if you go around the same turn slower that doesn't happen. In rare cases an internal shaft bushing or seal can be bad and the shaft can move having the same result...but as I said, that's rare.

1st gear issues on my '96 Grand Cherokee Limited.

rip the gearbox out and fit a manual ,or scrap the truck because the cost of repair is greater than the resale value of this vehicle ,its worth a 1000euros if you get the right person ,4litre engine petrol ,road tax is astronomical and at 7 dollars for a gallon for fuel you can see where these gas guzzlers end up

Transmission problem in E230 Benz

What you need to check is the transmission release bearing because if there is a clearance on the release bearing you will encounter this problem and also check the transmission oil.
