Default Jeep Wrangler Sport 2000

Is it an automatic or 5 speed?

'Slipping' implies an automatic. Otherwise, slipping means a bad
clutch.

The automatic's shift points are controlled by the throttle position
sensor up on the throttle body. I would recommend you pull it's plug
and use a spray contact cleaner to the socket and pins. They can look
clean, but a clean does them wonders. I am not sure where the
automatic's computer module is, but a clean of it's contacts can't hurt
either.
