I just picked up a 2001 limited 4.0L 2wd with an aw4 automatic. It has 131,500 miles and seems to be pretty well maintained . It has a problem where 1st gear is making a very loud whirring sound. (sorry, but thats the only way I can describe the sound). When it shifts into second gear, the sound is still there, but not nearly as loud. When it shifts from 2nd to 3rd, the sound is COMPLETELY gone. Does anyone have experience with this problem or know what it could be? I dont want to drive it in fear of causing further damage. The lady I bought it from said that before it happened, she was pulling into a parking spot and it jerked to a stop. when she tried to pull the rest of the way in, it jerked forward into the spot and she had it towed. Now it is making the sound. I tried to do a search, but wasn't able to find any threads covering this issue.
thanks
