DO NOT HAVE IT FLUSHED!!! High milage vehicles do not respond well to a tranny flush. They will start slipping, and go down hill from there. Since it is sooo bad, change the fluid and filter every time you change the oil until it starts looking good when you check it. I know it sucks, but unless you want to replace the tranny, that's what you need to do, if it's not too late!! If it still shifts good and hard, you should be fine!! Hope this helps!! Later!!

Thank you!! i did not have it flushed because it was 188.00 at the jeep dealer ouch!!!
i was pleased to find a drain plug on my tranny pan, and i drained a couple qts out and added some new and i will continue to do so.. thanks for the advice!
tranny shifts so smooth you dont even notice its there you just watch the rpms drop

Welcome to the site from another noob!
It looks like you've got a good start. Looks alot better than mine does but i got off a lot cheaper (in the beginning anyway!)
