tranny nightmare

[sadgreyghost]

I think I am just wasting my time the tranny is probably fried. I have a 98 4.0 2wd xlt w\overdrive. It is slipping in drive from stop. If I manually shift to low 1 or 2 it catches and pulls just fine......I changed the filter and fluid about 7000 miles ago.

HELP..........HELP
