My 98 jeep cherokee classic has just recently started this thing where either it wants to or does not want to go into o/d. For instance i could drive thirty miles to work and have o/d but halfway back home i no longer have o/d. What could this be? Even sometimes in town i either have it or i dont. Opinions and advice would help alot guys thanks

Maybe bad switch or solenoid & I would read codes if any. If fluid low, it might slip.

NO MATTER WHAT...For your FUTURE sanity...MAKE SURE that you have CLEAN FINGERNAILS for your wedding.

If you do not, it may haunt your for 30 years or MORE!!!
