Ouch!
First thing is to check the fluid!
I ran mine out of fluid once and it started going BANG BANG BANG in
every gear really bad except 3rd so I limped it 20 miles out of the bush
in a snowstorm at 9 pm on New Years Eve, got a local place to open up,
filled it with gear oil, drove 50 miles back to the bush camp we were at
and am still driving it 8 years later.
I put all new seals in it shortly after....
Do 'not' use GL5 fluid, you need GL4.
Once you have fluid in it, then see what happens....

They tried that for one or maybe two years in some CJ7's (82 maybe?) and
figured out it didn't work so by the 85 year 'for sure' (have the owners
manuals) they went back to recommending gear oil for it and the 86.
I even checked with my local Canadian $tealership and they stated that
'if' you have shifting problems in the winter only, you could use ATF,
but it is 'not' recommended otherwise.
I have heard of some rebuilts that insist on ATF because they couldn't
get the tolerances good enough for gear oil or some other such thing.

They tried that for one or maybe two years in some CJ7's (82 maybe?) and
figured out it didn't work so by the 85 year 'for sure' (have the owners
manuals) they went back to recommending gear oil for it and the 86.
I even checked with my local Canadian $tealership and they stated that
'if' you have shifting problems in the winter only, you could use ATF,
but it is 'not' recommended otherwise.
I have heard of some rebuilts that insist on ATF because they couldn't
get the tolerances good enough for gear oil or some other such thing.
