My 2002 jeep wrangler bucks now and then driving .

Sounds like an intermittent miss. Possible worn plug, bad wire, or an injector that is shorting out. Check to see if any codes are set. This will help you narrow the problem to a certain cylinder.

2002 Wrangler 4.0 idles too high in park.

normal for an engine to start at elevated rpm and then die back as it takes a few seconds for the ECM doing it's sensor checks and idle back to the correct idle speed check the idle rpm with an external rpm counter as most in dash units are inaccurate at rpm lower than 1000 as for the temperature If you have a climate control module, it uses a mixture of heater and ac to maintain the temperature that you have set so check it for operation

2002 Jeep Wrangler Screeching Sound On Startup until Engine is warm.

NEVER NEVER USE BELT DRESSING. It's sticky and attracts grit that destroys your pulleys. Screeching is almost always caused by a worn belt tensioner. Read these posts http://ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/diagnose-a-belt-tensioner/ http://ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/diagnose-belt-noise/

My jeep wrangler safari cant move the automatic shift out of park

There is a safety switch on the brake pedal and if it fails you cannot move the gear shift lever. Check under the dash on the brake pedal shaft for the switch and make sure it is not loose, disconnected, damaged or failed.

What do I need to look for to get dash to work?

ok , if you open the book called FSM(its free, despite above) what do you see, lots whole chapter on cluster. and better a chapter 8w (wiring) just sold my wrangler 02 and upgraded to 08, (a bad idea) xxxxxxx step by step. click TJ here ,then o2 (see link below) ok? posted this answer 100+ times here... first my guess fuse blown or bad ground do the park lamps glow in cluster? (bet yes) only warnings out, and parks glow in park mode????????? page 2 fuse PDC 24 blown or fuse FB 10 blown (fuses can look ok, and not be good ,a fact) ground g201 cut? ( see link below ) this is a computer based cluster, and all data is sent to it via a network, (unlike cars of old) PCI network. we scan it first. a the OBD2 port, PCM and if you see errors on the PCI NETWORK ,BINGO MY GUESS IS YOU NEVER SCANNED IT. IS YOUR ODOMETER FROZEN? IF YES, YOU LOST COMMUNICATIONS TO IT. the cluster has a self test mode, (ask) but does not prove it can talk to the PCM etc. the non computer warnings (i call them direct drive )are"
  1. ABS
  2. brake warn, and hand brake lamp
  3. park lamps (aka, illum)
  4. Turns (look ma, no blasted computer here)
now you know how the IP cluster basics work the free book, unlike spam bs above. is here posted over 100 times, http://www.morris4x4center.com/knowledge-base/index.htm?utm_source=cj#service wiring instrument cluster page....

2002 jeep wrangler recently had a new clutch put in,I am starting to have trouble putting it into 1st gear and shifting into 2nd, all other shifting fine.what could it be?

to answers 100% accurately id have to drive it.but here in net bunny land, cant do that!but can ask you to post full symptoms.(trans or clutch issues)question 1: can you start car in any gear. clutch held to floor, even reverse )Q2: once started, can you always shift to reverse (the tricky one, gin?) and not grinding and no complaints,balking?yes/noyes then your transmission fluid is low.or worse.Q3:is the clutch MC full? and does not drop day by dead week by week???q4: new clutchall 5 parts? or more?PP pressure platedisc.throw out bearingflywheel pilot bearing (oops?)new slave cylinder? ,mc setthe slave and mc are a fixed pair in 2002.FSM C6-p9and on my 2008the slave and MC are one part and pre filled.there is no bleeding steps only top offs.if the clutch drags,(seems it does)put in a new MS/SLAVE first.avoid the 10hr labor. if a new clutch, 4wd.ad4f429a-1dc7-4f8b-aa26-1116f5bce673.jpgI have lots more to ask.trouble puttingso you are drivingand shifting and movingand 1>2 shifts are what, grinds, or balks.can you start engine in any gear (clutch to floor)can you shift any gear parked ,running, and clutch to floor and not moving. including REVERSE ?if all are good, cept the 1>2 upshiftthat means the clutch is not dragging.and the #2 synchro ring is worn.or running the wrong trans fluids.the newer transmissions are very tricky here.some are very upset with wrong lube. (or too low or is not black as tar)or mixing 2 brands, or using synthetic and its so slippery the syncrho fails, (cured many like this)if all this is true, and clutch don't drag (ever)then get the car to jeep and have them drain it and fill it with the correct lube and win.now answer 3:it might be just the shift linkage messed upif the 1>2 change balks. (not grind)on mine boxes i can hear the synchro's spin up.i can feel them engage, if i cant feel thatthen the linkage is bad.the word trouble does not say what that means.define trouble putting....find a shop, a Service tech, that owns a m/T box.and win.Some with a/t are clueless...ive blown more clutches racing than many ever drove. IMO, and remember it COST YOU NOTHING to ask. (I'm retired early, gin!)

Whats the best trans mission fluid to use on a 02 jeep wrangler 32rh

first off it only gets out 1/3 of the fluid by hand. you know that fact right? putting fresh atf over mostly old is a wasted effort. right, unless done 3 time in row>? .i guess you lost the operators guided, or cant google search this? a full flush and filter works best. any ASE shop can do it. TJ jeep FSM page 274 32RH (8) Lower vehicle and refill transmission with Mopart ATF +4, Type 9602, fluid.
