2000 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 - 4 whl drive Help Us Please, we are lost!!!!!!!!!

This is driving my mechanic and myself crazy. Jeep runs fine, feel a slight wobble from the front end, this stops. After driving in stop and go driving the engine feels like slight miss, Then the Wobble increases won't excel and won't gone over 40 MPH, the temp starts climbing ,(feels like the front brakes are locking, smelled pads burning), Paid $80.00 tow bill, mechanic checked all and replaced a vac line and front wheel sensors on both sides, this replacement of sensors repaired cruise control, that had stopped working. After all this driving the other day Interstate backed up for 14 miles and coming off the exit ramp, it started again, front end felt funny engine miss, WOBBLE ON FRONT, won't excel after light, 40 MPH max, temp rising so I pulled over and sat letting it cool down. After it cooled down it still wouldn't excel over 40 MPH, THIS TIME I DOWN SHIFTED TRANS. TO MANUEL 2ND GEAR AND IT SEEMED BETTER, TEMP STOPPED CLIMBING, AT THIS POINT I WENT FURTHER, TURN OF THE OVERDRIVE AND SHIFTED MANUAL TO DRIVE. I drove it home,12 miles and parked it, the temp stayed normal, no wobble in the front wheels. My question is it the trans, is it the over drive, is it the trans axles, is is a module or ?????. So far in excess of $500.00 spent and no results.
