What should I do? This morning my jeep lost some power when i put it in drive and try to drive. But after i gain speed it's just fine. My dad told me it's the torque converter but he also said it could be electrical. If there is any way possible to restore the power when i put it in drive i would love to know how. I know how expensive a new converter is and labor fees. But I would like to be 100% positive before i put more money into my car. Please help. It's a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Automatic

Check for trouble codes fisrt. If trouble codes are present, it can be electrical but if no trouble codes, it could be mechanical or hydraulics that is causing the problem.

Check the fluid level and condition.
