    hey guys,
    I have long owned a zj but i just came across a deal on a 5.9 with transmission problems. So far from what i understand it will shift from 1st to 2nd but it will not go into 3rd of 4th. When i put it into reverse it doesnt engage like my inline 6, it seems sluggish until you touch the throttle then it seems to fully engage. there are no codes on it and it has fluid that doesnt seem burnt on the stick. i was thinking a fluid and filter change is a good place to start. what do you guys think? it has 132 000 miles on it
    thanks
