I have no idea if they are connected but I have a 97 grand cherokee with quadratrac and when I try to put it in 4 lo in grinds like hell and wont go in but the all time 4 wheel works fine and for the tranny sometimes it shifts fine its very sporadic it slips ALOT when I stop at stopsigns and lights and sometimes the rpms will shoot way down when im stopped and it will buck so hard it feels like i got rear ended also occasionally it will rev to 3000 rpms then jerk and shift very hard i dont know if the two problems are related or what any help would be very appreciated i am at my wits end with this problem

Have you checked the fluid level and condition in both the transmission and transfer case?
The transmission uses a dipstick for this, but the transfer case has a fill plug that you must unscrew from the case itself.

Yes i did a few days ago and they are the levels are both fine and the fluid is almost new

you shifted the trany in to neutral before you tried to shift in to low range right?
i would try a trany filter change and check the cables that run from the throttle body to the transmission.

I have some success in shifting into low range with the vehicle stopped (engine running) and the trans in 'Park' Usually it will slip into low range with no noise at all. If it doesn't, drive forward a foot or so and try again.
