First, thanks a LOT for this detailed post. I'm really amazed, and thank you a lot for your time and patience. It is 1995 wrangler YJ with 32rh. Don't know what PO did, i replaced fluid 2 years ago until now. I've did already stall test and some other procedures you described here. The problem is only tool availability for now. I'll check documentation you have provided and perform other test, and inform about results here. Thank you a lot!

Thanks for advice. I've adjusted bands, but problem is still there. I think TV cable is properly adjusted now. The problem happens only after Jeep was sitting for at least 2 hours. Transmission shifts fine into Low and 2nd. Then, at some 25 mph, when I lift my foot off throttle pedal, revs will go down very slow, and it seems like it is somewhere between 2nd and 3rd gear. It's definitely not in 2nd ( I know because revs are higher when I manually move gear selector from D to 2nd), but I'm not sure if it is in third . If i easily press throttle pedal, car behaves like it's in neutral ( revs to some 1500rpm but no acceleration). If I press throttle pedal a bit harder revs will go to 2000rpm (but no more than that) and it will then "downshift" to 2nd. As soon as i get to some 40 mph, it will stay in 3rd speed properly. I've noticed that after driving at speeds higher then 35mph for a couple of seconds, shift problems dissapear. If I stop car and start driving again, it will shift properly all the way, and there is no slippage at all. If car sits for a couple of hours, same problems until it get to 35+mph speeds for a couple of seconds... PS. Happy new year!

Hi all, I've got this issue for about a year. Transmission will not upshift from 2nd to 3rd when it's cold.It will when engine rpms are above at least 2200 - 2500. After 3 or 4 upshifts it will eventually behave as it should. I've replaced filter and flushed it. New 8 liters of ATF are in it and still there were no results. Then, I've tried adjusting TV cable. Results are following - It will shift from 1st to 2nd at light throttle when rpms are in between 1500-1900. 2nd to 3rd shift is also in between 1500-1900 rpm. But new problem appears now, also when transmission is cold. When it upshifts into 3rd, if I easily press throttle pedal it slips. Like it's shifted into neutral, and suddenly at 1900-2000 rpms it shifts into 2nd (i think). If i let off throttle pedal it will again upshift into 3rd and same story again. This happens ONLY when transmission is cold. If I readjust TV cable again the shift point for 3rd is again high ( about 2200rpms). Is this TV cable related or there is something wrong inside valve body? There is also one thing I've noticed, I'm not sure if it is normal. When driving some 40mph in 2nd, seems like it first locks-up in 2nd ( about 150 rpms drop) and then upshifts into 3rd. If i drive in 3rd and press throttle a bit harder, it downshifts into 2nd but TC is still locked. Only when I fully press throttle it will downshift into 2nd and unlock. Even when I go uphill it stays locked until I give it a lot more throttle. Is this normal and shouldn't lock-up occur only when in 3rd?
