Hi
I have a 2005 jeep cherokee limited with 5.7 hemi. Two days ago I parked it and unpluged the battery and now the jeep does not want to move forward or reverse. It seems like the transmission just went dead. Any help or suggestions would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks for all of your help.

 

so you put the battery back in and started it and it wont shift or what?

 

yes I put the battery back and now it won't move at all. I put it in reverse and nothing, I put it in drive and still nothing no response what so ever.

Thanks

 

I really cannot see the battery making the tranny die or not letting the car move. Something else must have happon but I do not know what!

 

so you rev it while its in any gear and its just like its in neutral.. if you put it in neutral can you push the jeep anywhere or does it act like it is in park?

 

you really need to supply us with more detailed info here,what exactly is happening?

 

Yes I can push it arround when its in neutral, and acts like that in all gears, I put it in reverse and I push the gas and it just sits there. All gears except park act like neutral because I can move the jeep around.

 

is there fluid in it that would be a good thing to check

 

bump.. was that the problem?

 

No there is fluid in it. I checked under neeth the jeep today and I found some metal rod stuck between the shaft and the floor, just before the transfer case( the saft that comes from the transsmition), it seems like it was rubbing on the shaft because the rubber seal is torn, but other than that i don't see any major damage. Could this make it to go in some kind of protection mode or safe mode ? Is there such a thing?

Thanks
