    Can't tell if it's this or I need to reflash it, I did initially have a misfire but that was corrected, but now I have a consistent downshift issue and a reoccurring upshift issue, only initiating either one, like relasing the gas around 3 or 4th gear and from take off it doesn't want to pull out of 2nd gear, until I force it to shift by either quickly revving it up or releasing the gas around 1200 rpm then reapplying the gas and then I'll hear it release and drop into the next gear.

I have a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. When the accelerator is depressed hard (passing or going uphill) the vehicle downshifts into too low of a gear. The nose will dip down and it will rev high.

this is normal for the trans to downshift as the engine and trans are working together to handle the acceleration of your car and as your car's speed increases the trans will adjust again (EG: shift gears) this is more of a weight to acceleration sort of thing or rather weight to power sort of thing

Grand Cherokee began shifting hard. Sometimes feels like long time to get into 2nd gear. When coming to stop, seems to shift into 1st gear suddenly, like skipping over 3rd and 2nd gears on downshift.

You don't say what year model. Could be vacuum leak, or perhaps trans filter and fluid needs to be changed. If this doen't help, might be time for trans shop testing.

How does the 97 dodge intrepid auto shift work?

when in auto shift mode you place gear selector in auto shift and as you drive you are in control of upshifting and down shifting, when you want to shift up you slide shifter to the right and to down shift you slide shifter to the left, but also know that the vehicle will up shift on its own if rps are to high and will not downshift all the way back to first, and try not to take off in higher gears that nwill burn the transmission

1998 Dodge Grand Caravan will not shif into 2nd

Most likely the second gear section of the transmission has gone bad. There are 3 or 4 different gear sections or assemblies in an automatic transmission, when they go bad, they go bad.
