Okay. So i have a 96 xj 4.0 H.O. with i believe is the aw4? I have been having some issues with shifting on the trans. When i come to a stop i have to down shift manually to 1-2 to get the trans to down shift. If i dont shift it manually it seems to slip like the trans is going out but as soon as i down shift it moves like there is not a problem. Also intermittently when driving anywhere above 45 my O.D. will just drop out and drive like its in 3rd but as soon as i give it more throttle it engages O.D. When i let off the throttle to maintain speed it pops back out of O.D. It first started intermittently and now it does it all the time. I have been researching this issue for a few months all while daily driving the jeep. I am not sure what to do just looking to see if anyone knows of any thing that they have seen. Thank you!

After following TJ's tips, read this.

 

test your TPS, because it's likely your TPS.

 

Alright. So tested the tps and it seemed to have been bad. well that made it drive right for about 2 miles. Any suggestions?
