Have the ujoints inspected. As they get old and worn they will develop play and the reason it thumps is caused by the ujoint being at one side then you shift towards another direction and it switches sides essentially hitting and causing your thump.
Will bolt up, but will not shift. The 1998 is controlled differently by the computer.
I believe you have a 2 high, 4 high and 4 low. There is no 2 low.
It will bolt up, but it will not shift. 1997 is electric, 1994 is hydraulic
All wheels must be off the ground to turn if servicing !
no only 93 grand Cherokees came with an aw4 an aw4 will have a p r n od 3 2-1 shift pattern
I had a similar problem where it would shift into reverse or drive but not go immediately. Or sometimes it would drop out of gear and you'd have to rev up to get it to fall back into gear. i replaced the transmission filter and it fixed the problem.
You must stop,shift into neutral, then shift into 4x4 high/low and back into drive. To disengage, stop again, shift to neutral, then shift back in 2x4 and drive, for safety you should reverse about 10-15 feet to help disengage the shaft.
Sure, just don't shift it into 4 wheel drive...
No put the gear shift into neautral
there is a possibility that your shift linkage is messed up. if not that then it is a sensor.

The shift solenoid is inside the transmission on the valve body.
