Default newbie queston?

yo,
im fairly new to my xj, ive got a 1986 cherokee. my first jeep was a wrangler.

but anyway, ive noticed the transmission in the cherokee kinda slips out sometimes and is kinda funky to get into gear.

oh yeah, one time after using my 4x4, when i got to the paved road it was hard to and eventually wouldnt get into any gear.

anyway, i was just wondering if its improvable on an 86
thanks

if it's a 5spd he might as well upgrade to a AX15 since the 5spd in a 86 is a ticking time bomb.
if it's a auto I'm gonna ask is he checked the fluid level.

jeepyon we need more info than that man..
