I have the same problem. Do not know cause but I remove large red 50 fuse in engine compartment fuse box, wait 15 sec and replace. Lock car and unlock. This seams to reset something and car is fine. This problems seams to appear when my battery is low.(?)

Unless you have a positraction rear differential, I'm surprised that even three are turning! Four wheel drive is really two wheel drive because both differentials are "open" type. In an open diff, only one wheel has power at any given time. With a positraction, or "limited slip" rear diff, both rear wheels push with fairly even force but the outer wheel is allowed to slip when going around turns. Only true four wheelers have either a limited slip on both ends or "locked" units but it is impossible or really difficult to drive anything like that on the street. If you hold the left front wheel from turning unless the locking unit is broken, the right front should turn.

The park pawl is worn. That is why it ratchets. Replace the pawl and hope it hasn't worn the transmission case.

probably the drop bushes, wiggle everything with a rubber you should find the rel lose one and it will probably knock, also could be an exhaust mount gone.

could be a clogged water drain line (blow it out w air), the heater core may be leaking (any coolant} windshield seal. when its dried up, use a hose to spray water on the car to see if u can create the condition for a diagnosis.

Idle Air conrol motor might be stuck with dirt. Clean it with carb cleaner without letting the liquid to get into the device, then reinstall it. If this does not help, and if the spintle does not move when the key is placed in the run position, then the iac motor should be replaced.

Did you clean the throttle body and plate of any carbon ?

none of the above the problem is a sensor in the transmission changing ratios so run the fault codes and check the problem suspect that wiring or a TR ( transmission ratio) sensor is going faulty
