Default Not getting in gear?

Ok so this is a fairly new problem that's been going on for a month or so. Whether I'm in reverse or drive. If I'm at a roll and I press the gas it acts like its in neutral and then it revs and then catches and goes. It's almost like its a jolt once it catches. Any ideas?

I would start by posting specifics about your jeep and which transmission you have. I always like to start simple. Have you checked the fluid level?

Checked the fluids today and they are all good. But I'm new to jeeps and I have the auto 4
Speed.

How did you check the trans fluid? Trans warm? Neutral or Park? Engine running? What did the fluid look and smell like?
Try this: take off with the shifter in 1-2 instead of D. See if it still slips.
