chris1997	When I put my 97 Jeep Wrangler into 1st gear it makes a loud grinding noise and won't move but will move in reverse and 4wd. Was just driving down the road and Jeep started to squeal really loud then started making a loud grinding sound. Pulled over and when I tried to take off again it made the loud grinding sound and wouldn't move. Then I put it into reverse and it would move. Then put it in 4lo and it would move forward and same with 4hi. Any suggestions on what could be the cause of this?
