#1 of 2 93 jeep grand cherokee laredo tranny problems??? by dsummers1 Oct 05, 2009 (8:49 am)
so im new to this forum and desperately need some help. i have a 93 jeep grand cherokee laredo 5.2L V8. I dont know much about trannys and need to know if this is worth fixing. So my jeep has 142000 on it. ok so i noticed a couple times that when i put my car in drive and try to move that sometimes the RPMS will go real high but will not move until i throw the car out of drive and manually into 1st gear. from there i have no issues taking off. if i can take off in drive it takes a real long time to get up to speed. now when i am on the highway driving around 80 the car will shift down all of a sudden even when my foot is on the gas. then finally when i hit 81 it will shift up and start to accelerate again. i dont know what to do. if i sell the car now i will take a major hit money wise. please let me know if you have any suggestion. I am in the military and live in germany so i dont have very good luck getting certain parts over here, so please let me down lightly. summers Replies to this message: tidester (Oct 05, 2009 10:34 am)
