Check fluid levels.

Honestly.



you can get them pretty cheap used. no point in rebuilding if you're on an extreme budget

I drove my TJ thru some real deep water and it ruined the 3speed automatic transmission, I flushed out all the mixed water and trans fluid, then I replaced JUST the clutch pack and filter. I drove it another 50,000 miles before I sold it and nothing went wrong. Water will ruin clutches within a few days.
Clutches from AutoZone for my TJ was $129.99 and I installed it myself and took me a day to do it.
Every transmission shop said I needed a complete rebuild, I called B/S on them!
If your mechanically inclined,is try that first!
