1998 but is it a 3speed or 4 speed.?
apples and oranges different.
3spe is pure hydramatii + 1 TC lockup wire. 3L30 box
4sp is electronically shifted, via a TCM brain inside the PCM. the A44 based trans, (common)
one easy fix (or 2)
are levels right, don't guess RTM read the manual.?
if the filter is clogged, cold AFT may not pass through it.
so maybe now the 50k miles service (full) in the transmission , might fix it. why wait?
dont read 10,000 posts for all 10,000 trans failures possible
why not read the FSM, and read the chapter called,
on car checks.
yah think? (IMO !!!)
2wd or 4wd, what 3speed or 4 speed??????
the 3speed, can fail in some simple ways.
why not post which transmission is there.
the 4door usually has 4 speeds.
and the 4 speed has TCM limp home modes.
unlike any 3speed made.
the 3 speed love to fail the vacuum modulator and loves to fail the kick down cable. but that causes late shifts, the modulator has 2 fail modes, leaks vacuum
or leaks inside causing late shifts or none. the last part in the 3 speed that fails. is the governor.
the GOV, has screens too. and they clog on all non serviced 3speeds.
on the 2wd is easy fix. and 4wd hard.
tell more, get more, i have vast data on sidekicks/trackers. and samurai
be the first to ever post what trans is there, shock us with good inputs.

SOURCE: THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THE CAR IS COLD YOU CAN'T GET
try a full flush and filter.
hot ATF fluild flows more easy thru clogged filter.
or bad vac modulator or governor or its tiny filters.
you need a AT expert , if the flush dont work.
there are many on car tests.

The transmission was supposedly rebuilt (wondering) and has been doing it before and after the rebuild. The transmission guys say they can't figure it out.
