Default Jeep Question

Where else would I go if not V20.com?

Looking at buying a 1997 Grand Cherokee Limited 5.2L with 165K from a co-worker. This will be a project car for my 17 YO son. The car needs some work but I can do most of it myself but there is one thing that concerns me regarding the tranny. After a full throttle acceleration the tranny shifts at much higher RPMs than normal for a few miles and start/stop cycles then it is okay. If I disconnect the kickdown cable and do a full throttle of the problem doesn't occur. Any thoughts? If I were looking at a tranny rebuild then the car isn't worth it.
