I have a 1997 jeep grand cherokee. Every so often the transmission disengages so that I cant go forward or backwards. That is the transmission acts as if its in neutral while the selector shows it to be in drive or reverse. Eventually after moving the selector from park to drive it will engage and drive forward. It also works if I cut the ignition off and then restart.

Anyone else ever had this problem or know what's going on?

thanks for an info.

I'm think torque converter may be messed up.

RRAM

sounds more like one of the electronic solonoids in the tranny.

I agree..

Could be. I was just saying torque converter because my uncles zj done the same thing and he took it to a shop and it was the torque converter

Being that it's a '97 the torque converter is controlled by electronic solenoids.. So either or both...

What did you find wrong. I've been checking this thread daily for about 2 weeks. I've got a similar problem posted on this forum:

I'm still troubleshooting problem.
