Re: Torque converter going bad?
If you do have water in the fluid, the lucas slip stop will just help
destroy the transmission while you drive it to see if it has effect.
You 'really' need to do your own visual on the fluid. It's easy, just
pull the dipstick out and see what the stuff looks like. If it is brown
and smells like burnt toast, you are in for a rebuild. If it's foamy
and clear it's too full and the foam will kill the unit because air
bubbles don't lubricate. If it looks like a milkshake it has water and
needs to be drained and replaced. Twice likely to get all the water
out.

Re: 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.
