Transmission problems?

So I’ve been driving my Jimny for a few months now and recently I’ve been having problems driving uphill or from a stop where it the car would shake but still move. If I let off the gas then get back on it then the problem would go away. I flushed the transmission fluid but the problem still persisted. Parked it at my house last night and now I can’t get it into reverse. Is my transmission dead or is it something else that I’m overlooking?

If it’s stupid but it works, it’s not stupid.

It’s a 1996 Ja22 automatic.

You say you flushed the transmission was that recent and what is the current fluid level?

It was maybe 3 days ago now and it’s at the third tic mark on the stick.

The auto is usually very reliable if you keep the fluid level correct. That said there are some reports of issues arising from incorrect fluid change. It seems that the best thing is to circulate fluid from a clean supply via the cooler or better yet get it done by a professional facility. It is also reported that once they start acting up they're not cheap or easy to repair. It might be a case of getting it to a professional.

So I did some “testing” and turns out that I can drive with the car in neutral so it could just be the shifter linkage is messed up.
