Hi jeep runs great. Shifts fine. When I go on highway then stop, there is small clunk in front diff. Area. Then it shifts slow, higher revs. Put it in nuetral or park and then drive shifts fine again! Got jeep 4 months ago been doing it since had it. Otherwise great shape

The clunk is probably something in the front axle either engaging slow because of low fluid or something is worn causing it. You might try changing the oil in front axle but have joints looked at and look for vacuum leaks but normally because of the mileage there may be something worn in there causing the slow shifting. You have to be going under 3 mph to shift as well. Also check your tranny fluid, if it's brown change it if black go straight to a trans shop
