Our jeep auto box is problematic, the auto gear box shifts from 2nd to 3rd are very clunky, sometimes violent. Shakes the vehicle.

we had a auto trans garage take it out and have a look a couple of years ago, at great expense, but they never found an issue. and the problem has never gone away. It does come and go its not persistent.

I'd be very annoyed with a specialist that couldn't do anything and charged me for the privilege!
You could try replacing the pressure sensor, however it would be best to get a decent transmission specialist to do some diagnostics.
The link below is for the manual.
