i have a 95 jeep cherokee sport. when i hit the gas the engine just revs then kicks into gear. it happens while moving someyimes however almost always when taking a right turn. if i gently hit gas a few times it will engage. do i need a new transmission or is there another problem? help
A GM newsgroup is probably not the best place to bring this question. You might want to look for a jeep group.
Could just need service, but why not take your vehicle to a qualified diagnostician? Do you seek critical medical diagnoses over the internet?
Jeeps aren't GM products, but I can still help. Have you ever had the transmission serviced? Chances are you haven't, and need to. Hopefully you haven't damaged your trans to bad by driving it for too long this way. Jeeps are known for bad rear ends, and transmission trouble. The trans filter is probably full of garbage/plugged up. If you did drive too long with it this way it will shift better after installing a new filter and fluid, but the damage is done. Also, just a heads up......if your rear end is making noise you better get that looked at too. I put all new bearings in the rear of my 98 Grand Cherokee limited to the tune of $360.00 my cost. I'm not sure what list price was, but it is quite a bit more. I've always liked the looks of the Grand Cherokee's, but beauty is only skin deep. It's the worst vehicle I've ever owned.
