I changed the transmission in a 1998 jeep grand cherokee and the reason I changed it was because it stayed in first gear. Upon putting the new one on the gears changed fine but later that day it is back to staying in first gear again. Can anyone please help me with this problem? Is it a fuse, the electronic box, the relay, what?

    Check the voltages/resistance the TPS is giving you. If the TPS is bad it (transmission) will give you these problems.

Check the condition of the tranny oil on the dipstick. If it's black and smelly, the tranny clutches might be worn out. Make sure you have enough fluid in there first. Check the fluid with the car engine running and the tranny in park. The level should be between the 2 marks.

Transmission
What you need to do is drain all the oil in the gearbox of transmission.
Replace with a NEW solenoid kit and put in NEW transmission oil. Recycle the old oil at your local mechanics shop.
If you don't change the oil, the old oil will cause the solenoid to stick.

I have a 2004 jeep grand Cherokee, I have 1st gear manually from a complete stop,same with 2nd. But when I put it in drive, the engine revs at 3500 rpm, but I only travel 5-7 mph. Tcm trouble code p0700...
sounds like low transmission fluid, a dirty filter or both, to check the fluid level, open the hood leave the engine running put the transmission in neutral with the parking break on then pull out the dip-stick labled trans, wipe it off with a rag plug it back in then pull it our and look at the level. To see if there is a dirty filter look at the fluid if it is darkbrown or black and it smells burnt then you need to get your transmission flushed and the filter changed.

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

2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee shifting problem from 2nd to 3rd
Check the kick down cable. If it sticks the transmission won't shift. I sprayed WD-40 on both the top and bottom connectors , and it worked like a charm. It's alot cheaper them spending 2000 on a new transmission you don't really need.

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Shifting Problems
Check the Trans fluid level with it running and at operating temperature. Jeep NAG1 transmissions are known to have the input electric seal leak trans fluid. Not an exspensive fix add Mopar ATF4 and then relace the guild seal.

Transmission problem
I had a shifting problem. The car would start in the wrong gear and shift at wrong times. I repaced the governor postion sensor and tranny fluid and the problem has been fixed for several years. Did you replace the tranny fluid?
