I had the same exact problem in my 98 sport. Mine only did it once and I haven't fixed it yet. I believe its the shift solenoid for 3-4. That's what mine seems to be. Mine just isn't real bad yet.

Inside the transmission. U pull the pan and its right there. There are three of them. I'm not sure Wich one it is but all the connections are differant so it can't be that hard but I'm not sure to be honest

My 1999 XJ was throwing the P0705. If you search "neutral safety switch" you'll see its very common. You'll find write-ups on how to clean it. I was all set to clean the switch, but couldn't manage to get it removed. My P0705 code actually went away when I had a shop fix a wiring short in the A/C-electric fan circuitry.
