I got a 2008 Jeep Wrangler X with auto tranny issues, reverse is a forward gear.?

2008 Wrangler X automatic goes forward in all gears except park, the dash lights up the appropriate gear selected. When i drove it though the 1,2,D gears stopped working and I had to use the Reverse gear to get home on, yeah I used reverse to get the vehicle home and it drove forward not in reverse?

Anyone else had this issue or know what it might be

please only people familiar with what I am asking about not just random mechanics, I am a very good mechanic. Yeah I know it might be the entire transmission, etc.

Update:

UPDATE

Pulled multiple codes from the transmission

1 gear ratio incorrect

2 gear ratio incorrect

High pressure line high for too long

    Pretty bizarre.

    And I'm not familiar with your issue ...never had it happen to me. But ....

    I would look at the shift linkage. Sounds like maybe the linkage connection to the transmission has gone out of adjustment or possibly got damaged somehow (done any serious wheeling lately?).

    Cruise into one of the Jeep specific forums. I dd a search of "2008 wrangler shift linkage" and came up with quite a number of hits. Apparently this sorta thing you're experiencing does happen to others.

    Sorry to hear you are having a concern with your 2008 Jeep Wrangler.

    I checked for Technical Service Bulletins but could not find anything related to the transmission concern you described. You may want to consider having the vehicle diagnosed by your local authorized Jeep Service Department.

    I'm thinking your gear shift linkage is either loose or in serious need of adjustment.
