Torque converter going bad?
Open the hood.
Look at the motor. The Inline 6 will have all 6 cylinders in a line. The V6 will have 3 cylinders on one side and 3 more on the other side. You may need to look at a known I6 and a V6 side by side to see the difference. It isn't required to have them side by side, but if you have to ask, the picture says a thousand words. And, except for the latest version of Jeeps, you have an I6. The Liberty gets a V6, and there was a V6 in the Cherokee back in the mid to late '80s that was a real dog. > wrote in message ups.com... > Hi: > > Then I have a straight 6.

Yes, but that was a very long time ago, and the OP hasn't got one of those.
