I have a 96 jeep cherokee sport 4.0 litre HO automatic and it has a 3.5 inch lift on it and i am now finally getting into fixing a few things on it and first up is the slow shifting that it has. If i put it into 3 then it does alright till i get to higher speeds. In drive it is slow shifting from 2 to 3 and it boggs down quite a bit. I am wondering about anyones thoughts on this.

Change the fluid. Do a flush if you can ...it will cost you about 12-13 quarts of fluid.

Make sure you use Dexron III/Mercon fluid..not synthetic.

To go further...take the pan off and change or clean the fliter/screen.

Do you have larger tires on it? If you left the gear ratios stock then that's likely the reason it's bogging.

Hey..Fred might be right...I didn't read your post carefully.

Most people that use 32s and 33s on their rigs drive around in 3rd gear if they didn't re-gear the axles.
