Have a 94 zj 5.2 when I first start it I can shift into gear R N D 2 1 but I let it sit for a min then shift it won't go in gear like as the fluid gets warm it doesn't want to go in gear
Any help would be awsome

First step, check fluid lvl and condition, should be red, and not smell burnt. You need to check while running, and in park or netural, forget which one.

forward/direct clutches are burnt. I bet if you drop the pan thee will be a lot of metal and clutch material. any codes? It probably had a bad governor pressor solenoid and was driven in limp mode and burned it up.

no problem. if you have any problems pm me. I build chrysler autos for diesels out of my house, (drag/sled pulling) and I managed a tranny shop for the last 3 years. always wiling to help. Dont forget to change your governor pressure sensor and solenoid and output speed sensor if you diddnt get it already
