OK I have a 1990 Jeep Cherokee with an AW4 trans. Its 2wd right now btw. Recently it has been slipping from 1st gear into neutral at stoplights. It wont shift back into 1st gear until I rev up the engine a bit and then 1st gear kicks in (litterally the whole jeep jerks forward). Its only a problem when it is in drive. If I have it in 3rd gear or 1-2gear its fine. Reverse works fine also. I checked the trans fluid and its red and doesnt smell burnt. I also can feel a very bad vibration when decellerating (idk if its relavent). Seems to me like its the rear u-joint but I checked it and it seems fine. Any thoughts?
