Was going to elaborate but i just want to hear what you guys might think it may be please chime in with your ideas. Its been going on for a while and it got a little worse.

-some things that are happening a slight vibration on acceleration from 30-43 ish till it eases.

It could possibly be the rear end slipping, maybe a couple of the prongs on the gears are worn off? Definitely need to have someone check it out though, before something catastrophic happens.

bigboy813

could it just be the u joints

Sametal

U joints would definitely cause it to vibrate, but I don't know why they would make it jerk when you shift it into drive?

mine would clunk kinda hard when i went from drive to reverse or vice versa. and about half a year later my driveshaft fell off do to u-joint break.

bigboy813

do you still have the same jeep ?

if so does it still clunk

bowchee

yes the driveshaft fell off i replaces the full driveshaft so that meant new u-joints and no more clunk

bigboy813

Alright kinda connected the dots just wanted to make sure guess i will replace the rear u joints

bowchee

hopefully you have the same problem and get it fixed before it falls off

Let us know if that fixes the problem....There are plenty of previously posted threads on this forum with the exact same issue....From what I gather it can be caused by bad u-joints, transmission mount, or just a worn transmission...I was also wondering if it could be caused by the throttle cable being out of adjustment....

Search on Youtube, there are good videos on how to do u-joints. If I remember right you can do them with a vice, hammer and socket (if you don't want to shell out 150$ for the press).

i didn't mean to sound like i did it myself but the hinges that hold the cross shaft piece broke. i would just have it done by a mechanic.
