I apologize up-front for my ignorance, as I am not too good with cars. I have a 2000 JGC and noticed that it has been shuttering while driving high speeds. The shutter is not constant and only happens 50MPH+. It has become more frequent, which concerns me quite a bit. Additionally, the last two times that I have stopped to fill my tank, the car will not start. I have been forced to wait 10-15 minutes before the car will start. The battery is fine and doesn't require replacement. I am getting feedback that it is a transmission problem, but am looking for some other opinions. Any info you guys have to offer would be AWESOME! Thanks in advance!

Replying to: dixiecrawler (Jan 24, 2006 8:51 am) that is really nice.well,i have a 96 grand cherokee laredo and as you can see in my last message i am not totally forsure about my tires size.so i just want a small lift and was thinking about doing it this summer and i just want a few inches on the lift and the tires. i don't want a monster truck because i would then have to put little step bars on it to get into it.so just something that will look kinda cool to go along with my new custom paint job,its like when you start to go custom you just can't stop.  -Jeeper96

Replying to: gccambridge (Jan 24, 2006 12:59 pm) I too had that problem, which I called the dealer about. You've described the problem perfectly, even regarding the other gears shifting smoothly. The service manager told me that this "jerking" motion was due to 2nd gear being such a low gear. I've also noticed some struggle when going up steep hills. It seems as though you've had better luck than I have. I've had problems every 3,000 miles that I've had to take it in for; it now has a little over 10,000 on it.

Hi, I've got a 2000 JGC Laredo. Have had this same transmission problem for about a year now. I've read some other problems like mine but couldn't really get a diagnosis from anyone. Anyway, for some reson it seems worse the colder it gets. After I first crank it in the morning and get going it doesn't want to shift from 2nd to 3rd. It'll "Wind out" up to around 4000 Rpms then I usually have to let off the gas and it'll shift...sometimes. Jeep dealership couldn't find anything the first couple of times I had it in (still under extended warranty). Well this time they recognized the prob but I didn't leave it with them. Anyway, It just hit 80,000 miles, we changed the fluids, filter, etc. Shifts out a tad better now but still not right. Also wondering if anybody out there is familiar with adjusting the transmission bands. Cluless on that...and noone seems to know. Anyway, got a $2000 deductible with the warranty so if the fix happens to be something cheaper then I'd rather do it myself.Open to any advice and suggestions. Thanks so much. Paula
