Jeep/Dodge transmission swap?

Jeep/Dodge transmission swap?
i have a 1995 jeep grand cherokee(ZJ). it has the 318 5.2L v8, and an automatic transmission(not sure on the model), with the full-time 4wd transfercase. the transmission is now having trouble shifting(wont shift past 2nd gear nor downsshift back to first when in overdrive). we checked the fluid and all that is fine, so i was wondering if i can replace it with a transmission out of a 3/4 ton dodge pickup that is heavier duty then my current transmission(the jeep has 6.5″ lift and 35″ boggers). if so will it work with my transfercase or will i have to get one out of the truck too. or will all of this have to correspond with the gears in the rearends which im not sure what those are either. any information would be great, and some model numbers of transmission/tranfercases that may work.

Tip:

Walking the Crossing<br> When walking your water crossings its best to walk in the intended wheel tracks to find if there are any hidden rocks or potholes, as well as for checking the depth. Potholes at common crossings are often caused by previous 4x4 spinning their wheels after hitting a submerged rock. So if you find a pothole, check for submerged rocks. It's a good idea to place markers at these points so you can avoid them. Its been known for a vehicle attempting a relatively easy crossing to suck in water when a single pothole has caused the hood to momentarily dip below the water level, causing water to enter the air intake, resulting in hydro-lock and a damaged engine.
