Check the kickdown cable. If it’s not that, then I might have an idea. My 99
wouldn’t shuft from 1st to second many times, aespecially when it was warm
out, until I let off,and let bakc on, the thing would win all the way to
6000rpm sometimes. After doing everything from replacing solenoid, changing
tranny fluid, and other ideas, I finally got it fixe dwhen the dealership
replaced the valve body.
You might wanna have that checked.
Good luck.

I tried letting off to get it to shift on my last run. It did so, but i
had to let off so long that it killed my et. Maybe with some more
experimentation I could get it better, but will definitely work with the
kickdown cable next time around.
My tranny was rebuilt in 94 and has been good ever since. I've been
sitting on a recall since last summer that would "replace the steel manual
valve with an aluminum valve" to correct a problem of the tranny engaging
itself if not put all the way into park. I am somewhat afraid of letting a
dealer play in my tranny. Would this fix help my sticking shifts at all??
Any downsides to the amsoil changeover? I'm running standard mopar atf
thanks
