I have an 88 w/ the 4.0l and an auto. trans.
Today as I was diving at about 25 mph the rpms started getting higher as the jeep slowed down. I eventually came to a stop. It was like the trans was in neutral. I tried putting it all the way in first gear. Then tried reverse. Nothing. Tried 4wd. Nothing. Put it in 4 low and revved it real high (just cause I was mad) and it budged. So in 4 low at about 4k rpms I limped it off the road and left it for a couple hours. When I came back I started the jeep and put it in gear. I had a nice firm shift into gear but this only lasted about fifteen seconds. I turned it off and back on and it did the same thing. I could spin the tires as soon as I put it in gear but very quickly it would fade to nothing. I also tried accelerating slowing but the same thing would happen. Luckily I was very close to home and just kept turning it off and driving as far as it would let me until I got home. When this started the jeep was cold. I had just started it and not even made it a 1/4 down the road.
Anyone got any idea as to whats going on.
If you need any more info please ask.
