It seems to be getting stuck in gear. The rpm will go up but it wont downshift. The fluid is fine, nice and pink, not burnt at all!!! I was told I cannot hook it to the computer at the car shop because the it wasn't possible to check the transmission through the computer til 1996. Im not sure if this is true or not. It puzzles me also because it doesn't do this all the time. Over a three month period there has been times when it has not happened for 2 or 2 1/2 weeks! Other times it will constantly act up for days at a time. I want to fix this problem. I love my jeep and just want to know what is wrong before I go into getting a new transmission. Thank you, Sheila

Also wanted to let you know ,in case I didn't put it in my question, my grand cherokee is a Laredo 4x4. It is always using over drive unless I push the button to shut it off. Does this make a difference? It has first, second, overdrive, neutral, and reverse on the floor but no drive. Everyone keeps telling me to keep pushing the button to shut the overdrive off but I figured that they would have put a drive gear on the floor if it was bad to have it in overdrive all the time. Just thought you should know :) Also wanted to let you know ,in case I didn't put it in my question, my grand cherokee is a Laredo 4x4.

You should run it in overdrive all the time unless you are pulling a heavy load or driving in a real hilly area. After it shifts from 1 to 2, 2 to 3 feels fine? I would start with adjusting the 2nd gear band. You can do this yourself if you have some mechanical ability. If you don't want to try it yourself I would take it to a shop and get the transmission serviced, get the bands adjusted and add a product called (lubegard). At a shop this should cost about 160-175.
