Not only that, but the Sport trim level never came with the 2.5L . That engine came ONLY in the SE's.

Might actually be someone located outside the U.S., where the Jeep Liberty continued to be called a Jeep Cherokee.

If that is the case could it be the 2.8 Diesel?

According to Wikipedia, the Liberty did have a 2.5L diesel engine too; I don't know anything about them, personally.

Well I have worked on the VM 2.8L that is in the "American" Liberty. And I know what you are talking about there is a threaded hole in the right side of the block that goes to a hole in the torque convertor drive plate/flexplate. The ones I have encountered there was alot of rust in the threads and it was very difficult to thread the special tool in. Hope this helps some!!
