Well, my transmission likes to slip majorly between 1st and 2nd gear. and if im just starting the car (like first thing in the morning), ill give it about a minute to warm up and then ill leave. well when i get to the first stop sign, i always put my car in neutral (its a pet peeve), but anyways, ill come to a complete stop, wait and go. and when i put the jeep back in drive, it takes about 4 seconds before its actually engaged. and also on the takeoff from the stop sign, it literally creeps along. it wont get up to speed like it used to. i dont know whats going on...

On these Jeeps, the proper way to check most of these 93-98 Jeep Grand Cherokees is with the tranny in neutral.

It should say right on your dipstick to check the fluid level with the vehicle in neutral.

For 25 years, I\'ve always checked tranny fluid in park too, but these Chryslers are different. Hope this helps you out.

My 97 Grand was slipping to, in park it reads full, but in neutral it was a quart low.

After the engine reaches operating temp, on a flat level surface, check the fluid level in the transmission (running in park) If it's low, top it off. If it's full, chances are there is an internal seal that is allowing pressure loss, preventing the transmission clutches to fully engage. You could try changing the fluid and filter, adding lucas trans conditioner. That may help a bit but most times the only permanent cure is to rebuild/replace the unit. Don't expect "instant results" from the conditioner. often it takes a few days to work...it took a long time for the seal to wear.
