Check to see if your CEL bulb is operational.
Hook up a quality scanner and see there are any DTC's pending. There might be a lockout solenoid circuit or transmission input speed sensor and/or output speed sensor DTC lurking.

So today I took off my drenched carpet and found some unwelcome rust. I know how to take care of all of that, but I do have 2 questions.
1.
Attachment 235497
I have some areas like this where the metal is just pitted, should I cut these out and replace the pieces?
2. I've read so many threads about bed lining an XJ that I can barely think straight. So I know that I'm going to bed line it, I'd like to not put the carpet back on but there's these wires
Attachment 235499
(The 2 large bundles) that would really annoy me just being uncovered. So how have people relocated/hid these wires? Could I just cover the front foot wells with a large rubber floor mat and screw it down to cover of the wires?

As for the pins, I'm not sure if there's something specifically to fix sag but I know it's oft discussed amongst people who go doorless. Try looking at the doorless mod writeups for some ideas

When I put it in 1-2. It indeed stay in 2nd gear. So when I came to the incline, I shifted it up to 3 and it stayed there until around 3k rpms then it dropped to 1,600. Did that mean it went in overdrive even though it was placed in third?

What was the max rev in 2nd when going up the incline? This is tickling my curiosity. Im pretty sure I've had mine in 3rd before with no problem. Not sure if the XJ would force a shift and at what rpm it does
