my 96 jimmy will not shift gears unless you let off the gas. If you dont let off the gas it will buck. It wont go into overdrive unless u manually put it into drive then overdrive, then it drops back into drive. Any help is appreciated

You could have a kickdown cable out of adjustment, or the trans modulator valve is bad or has low vacuum. I'm not sure which trans you have, some even have electric shift solenoids, but i think yours is a vacuum shift trans.
