Default auto trans shifter... help!

Hello All,

I have 87 cherokee with auto trans. shifts smooth usually, but a few times it would not shift into all gears. Once started jeep and could not shift into reverse and another time could not shift into drive, kept muscling the shfter back and forth and finally went into gear, and shifted fine after that.?
Anyone experienced this with the auto trans?
Would like to fix before I get stuck and can't shift into gear at all.

Does that have the thumb button interlock on the shift lever? If so, is it broken or sticking?
