transmission
I know trans questions keep getting asked but... I just bought my jeep it has 200k miles on t its a 96 with the aw4... When i bought it it would go into reverse or drive and move a little then stop moving, Its tempermental on moving in forward or reverse gear... Ive gone through tvs, iac, all the linkage, and tps... I put it up on stands tonight to see if it would get going without weight on it.. I can put it in drive and the driveshaft wont spin but if i manually turn the driveshaft by hand it will keep spinning like its idling.... same thing in reverse. What could cause it to not be able to start moving on its own?

I don't have '96 either. '95 & '97 if you want to try those?

i wnet through the troubleshooting on both 95 and 97 and i have forward and reverse movement but it only does it temporarily... each thing i try fixing seems like it works for a few minutes then nothing... I cant get it moving enough so i can even get it to operational temperatures to check fluid level.. I dont believe there is a mark for cold level..

Ok I got my fsm in and went down the chart for no forward or reverse movement. All thats left to check according to manual without pulling trans is solenoids. I was wondering will all of the solenoids go intermittent before they go out? And would they all go out at one time?

NOTE: I checked my ground pin again, and it appears that the TCU is the source of the ground. With the 7 pin unplugged, the center pin on the female connector shows opwn in reference to ground, but its corresponding male pin from the TCU shows very low resistance to ground.
According to your symtoms, you have an inner trans or torque converter issue. Even with the TCU unplugged, or TCU fuse out, the trans should go into reverse by selecting R, or 1st by selecting 1-2 and move just fine. The electronics are involved when it comes time to shift 1-2-3 when the lever is in 3 or additionally to OD when the lever is in D.

On a side note I'm pretty sure that one of the two clutch drums is for HIGH and REVERSE. The other is for 1 and 2. If there is a problem with that drum -broken piston-bad lip seal/o ring or just worn clutches that will give U problems and mean the unit coming out.
