my zj wont accelerate
I was driving regular when all of a sudden i notice i couldnt go any faster then 30 mph or so without flooring the pedal
and flooring the pedal which at that time was making a loud no tranny fluid type of noise... when i accelerate it just started to seem like i was low on trans fluid.. and being that i do have a trans leak when ever the jeep is off i figured that was it.. so i brought so trans fluid just to top it off with. It made matters worse at first after adding the trans fluid it just drove regular and about 5 or 6 minutes into driving home the thing started doing it again. I pulled over and checked the trans in Nuetral and the level was good.. but after sitting their for about 5 minutes with my car on I shift it into gear and it would budge in R or P no matter how much i rev it... but if i rev it slow it will move in R slowly.. but not drive? please help im stranded

Old fart with a wrench
Ditto on the convertor. Same thing happened on my Chevy truck. Mine went while pulling uphill. It just felt like it popped out of gear with a whining sound. After backing down the hill, it would only move a very little at part throttle and not at all at more throttle. On teardown, there was metal and gray mud throughout the entire trans.
