Check your NSS Neutral Safety Switch. It has connections inside to let the trans go into the gears, including controling the reverse lights. It is located on the passenger side of your Jeep on the side of the trans. Here is a website that will help with it. http://jeepin.com/features/nss/ You could also have a bad Tourque Converter. You might have a bad Solonoid at the trans that would control the turning on and off of the OverDrive. You might want to get an opinion at a trans shop before doing any else first. I hope this helps you.
You have to put your hand on the gear lever and move it into second gear at the same time depress the clutch pedal under your left foor, then lift your left foot of the clutch and depress your right foor on the gas pedal. That should do the trick! If it is an automatic transmission, ask your local mechanic
I have to assume this is something going wrong.
The trans will down shift for the following reasons:
Good Luck
A 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7L would have a 545rfe transmission.
An AW4 transmission from a 1991 Jeep Cherokee will not fit into a 1988 Jeep Cherokee. The transmissions in the varying years do not appear to be compatible with one another.
I had this happen to me and it was the resister connectors , could be the resistor itself, 92 had it mounted on left front fender near top, it gets weather in on it and the wires corrode in their covers.
No 1988 is OBD 1, the connecter is under the hood.
In the year 1988 the federal court heard the case of Nero v. Cherokee Nation. This case went through many appeals and in 2006 the Cherokee nation Tribunal rules that Cherokee Freedmen were allow to apply of Cherokee citizenship.
dirty trans fluid might be the cause. have it changed, but not flushd
Mona Lisa Overdrive was created in 1988.
If a 1988 Mercury Grand Marquis shifting out of second gear gets choppy after acceleration then the overdrive band may need servicing. An overdrive band that is sticking can also cause this problem.

no. 1986 to 1990 sorry

I would assume it would. I haven't worked with those specific years but everything I've seen with the Cherokee(and jeep in general) is that most years are interchangeable as long as they are same engine size.
use a bit of carb cleaner, also check sparkplug and air filter condition
The transmission oil line from a 1991 model of a Jeep Cherokee will fit a 1988 model of a Jeep Cherokee because the transmission oil line fits all Cherokee models that were made between 1987 and 1996.
