Default 1999 XJ clunk from stop

I couldn't find this exact symptom while searching, so here it goes:

When I accelerate from a stop, I get a 'clunk' in the vehicle. Seems to be coming from the rear end, could be described as a 'slip' I suppose, but does not do it any other time. If I accelerate from a stop very gently, it does not do it. What should I check first? Thx

I'm changing the transmission filter and gasket. I drained the fluid and removed all the bolts. I tried taking the pan off and as I am pushing it back and forth my whole tranny moves side to side. Is this normal??
I will be waiting on replies so I can finish this job. Thanks in advance!

Default neutral safety switch

Ok i know this sounds funny, but i cant seem to find the neutral safety switch on my transmission.
I am pretty sure it is the problem with my reverse lights not working. I have been all over the transmission and cant find anything that looks triangular on the passenger or the driver side.
I have 1995 jeep Cherokee sport auto 3ps 4x4 6cyl 4.0 lt

if anyone has a picture of there transmission showing exactly where it is locate i would really appreciate it.

I have looked online and seen some switches that look more like plugs that are around $20 and others that are triangular that are around $150

i know its not a fuse or a bulb and judging from what i have read in my book it must be this switch.

problem is i cant find the thing. any help would be great as my inspection is coming up at the end of the month and i have to have it working.
Thanks in advance for any help with this

2000 cherokee, I-6 4.0L, AW-4

Today was not a good day. I put my brackets back on the coil, made sure all bolts were grounded. Connected the battery and no start. I can here the starter click but the engine won't turn over.

I had the coil out, I also had the computer unpluged and I had the battery diconnected. I checked to make sure everything was pluged back in, I checked the battery and it has juice.

Would a uncleared code prevent the engine from turning over? I wont get my code scanner untill this week some time. Anyone have some suggestions?

I had the battery load tested and they said it was good, just needed a little recharge, had them recharge it. I went out and put my meter on the starter and I got full power at the starter. But when I try to start the jeep just get one click.......geuss my next step is to have the parts store test the starter? Or is it a pretty sure thing that the starter is toast?

Just is weird, the starter was working yesterday, do they usally just go like that?

Hi Wildspear. Jeez you must be getting really frustrated with all this. Can I just throw a couple of wild guesses for you to think about or try? I'm assuming that you're attempting to start it using the key/ignition switch. Have you tried by-passing the ignition switch as a test (i.e., hot-wiring)? How about jumping the started with a screwdriver just to be sure it's still good?

No, I haven't tried the screwdriver method. It's dark and cold here in good old Michigan. Plus Electricity and I are not friends (learned from numerous home improvment projects) so I rather do that when its light out....LOL!

you'll have to swap the flexplate, but yes. Use your current PCM with the new engine.

Quick Question.

When you talk about a new exhaust and how you get a good sound. That all comes from the muffler. So is this all I would need to get that nice sound. I was reading a thread on someone who had a Super 44 with piping. That's what I want to look into. Is this all I would need?

Thanks, Jon
P.S I know it's a stupid question, but bear with me while I learn.

EDIT: I think I need 2 1/4 not 2.5

Would this fit then?
