Your transmission (AX-15) actually needs a GL3 oil. Best I've found is Redline MT90 or MTL. It costs a little more and may be hard to find but most 4WD and performance shops should have it or can get it. The common gear lubes (75W90, 85W140, etc.) sold are rated GL5 and contain sulphur which is hard on the brass syncromesh parts in your transmission.
It could also just be low >

It is a good idea to change an unknown Jeep's tranny fluid. They get water in them easy and if the fluid freezes it won't shift.
