Every so often when I start my 2016 jk with auto trans and put it in drive and start driving it seems to stick in a very lower gear. I try moving the shifter in and out of drive. I stop the Jeep and move it to park and back to drive. Sometimes this helps. The last time while still moving I shifted from drive to natural then back to drive and it ran normal. Once it seems to be in the correct gear it operates normally. Any ideas on this. Could it be a linkage or detent?

Could be the shifter bushings are starting to go bad and it's not going into gear all the way.
