Im a newb on here but it sounds to me like your shift solenoids aren't fully engaging. Low Fluid perhaps , shift cable is the likely the issue though. It should have an adjustment fitting under your shifter in the trans tunnel.

It could be the cable adjustment, but I think there may have been a recall for the shifter assembly. Call the sevice department at your local Jeep dealer and give them the VIN #, they should be able to tell you if the recall has already been done on your ZJ.
