Loses gear / shifting issues
THROWS NO CODES
EDIT: After replacing fluid and filter, it shifts fine. Tons of metal shavings inside the trans pan tho :/
Something is definitely falling apart in there. I likely just band aided it.
Thanks for trying to help

it does not go into gear without some serious playing with it.
Anything into 3rd gear+
I had to run it up to 4500+ rpm, drop it down to 3500, and it would stay in gear for a little while (1-2 miles max) Then slip out of gear and sky rocket RPMS..
I had to hold it around 3.2k rpm’s and it would maybe hold for a little. But would ultimately slip back out of gear.
throw itself into neutral it felt like. to protect itself I’d assume.(definitely was not getting any gears, I could drop down to 2,000 rpm up to 5,000.. and nothing)
did the 4.5k->3.5k rpm’s throw itself back into it.
I then had to repeat the process a million times, take back highways etc. and that’s delicate af as I already said (keeping at 3.2k MAYBE worked)

Or anything under 35 mph it’d do just fine.

I noticed if I just stick the jeep in second gear with shifter, it does that no problem. So I limped it home with flashers on.

I can do pretty much all work to a car.. besides insides the trans I’m totally ignorant.
I plan to change the trans fluid/filter today, check for metal shavings or anything obviously wrong. // it’s just all I know how to do to a trans 😭

what could be the cause of these symptoms? This all started in the 150 miles I drive TODAY.
no issues literally yesterday.
I got work in 3 days and pretty much all the tools to get this done. PUH LEASE jeep community. Give ideas / input.
Let’s get me rolling again
Thanks
