What I've got is an 04 Lib limited 4x4. Its got over 300,000 klms and only 1 problem that I'm having a hard time figuring out how to fix myself. What's happening is the 4th and 5th gear of the transmission engage to early so the whole jeep shakes vilontly unless I give her gas to speed up the rpms. Been gradually getting worse for a year, keeping in mind that I've also been hauling a 1 ton trailer for work for the last 250,000 klms. Yes I will take it in to get fixed be any ideas to prep me from not getting taken to the cleaners.

sounds like it could be a torque converter clutch going bad. have you changed the fluid and filter recently?

Thanks for the reply Matthew. I do a filter fluid change every summer but not the flush they do at the quick lube places. Never even thought of the converter. ILL try an additive as well before I give up and surrender.
