Hi there. I have a 1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ Automatic (Hard Top.) Yesterday after being in the snow the transmission started to act up on the way home. It was holding gears to long sometimes and it even took off in second a couple of times I'm sure of it. Today whilst driving quite slowly it started to make a light grinding sort of sound in 2wd and then went neutral. This is what it does now and the only way to get it to drive in any gear is to turn the ignition off and restart the engine. I have to do this every couple of minutes to keep moving. Can you help me. Corey

TJ
with 4wd , the 4wd drive lever not the main trans.
this is part time 4wd, and is not for dry pavement
dry means , devoid of ice, and snow.
that is why its called Part time and not full time 4wd.
so what are the tires touching, we cant see you ?
dirt (all offroad, 4wd works)
pavement (no)
ice (yes)
snow (yes)

one tire must be on a slippery surface or bad happens to
YOU and the drive line. and others, you hit.

i guess you deleted your other post
then added it again. or did it anon.,?
I answsered this yesterday, on TJ.
command trac , jeeps.
we have the manual if you would like to read it.

But for sure, truth can be stranger that fiction.
seems.? like
seem everyone wants to hear lies. ( the lie is short sweet)
like:
change the oil. (gear lube)

Is it an automatic transmission?
Have you try to start the Wrangler in Neutral.
On automatic transmission there is a neural safety switch.
When it's not send the correct gate position signal (P R N D... ) to the ECU not energize import relay like ASD.
Check for loose linkage to the transmission. + lube linkage with white Lithium grease spray.
Check for loose wiring to the neutral safety switch.

use a digital voltage meter on the battery to verify the 'spikes', Jeep Wrangler gauges are notorious for being erratic (I have a 98 TJ, how's your gas gauge working?)-

the printed circuit board gets weird due to water leaks that find their way to the back of the pod from the top of the roof seal, so it is not unusual for gauges to act strangly.

If that is not the case, it is time for a new alternator.

Anything that is for a TJ will fit your year. TJ was from 1997-2006. There were a unlimited model with a streached wheel base.

220 volts man

a 97 wrangler is a TJ a 95 is a YJ they will not interchange

no.

Your Wrangler is a YJ and the model is an "S". A Wrangler manufactured in 1987 through 1995 are all YJ's and then from 1997 through 2006 are all TJ's. The new Wrangler models are dubbed JK's.
