and sorry about the name spelled wrong Stefano
The tranny is fine, the jerk you feel is prolly just some play in the driveline, u-bolts, splines, ring&pinion etc... i've noticed you have some problems, lol grab a beer dude.

god you just scared me even more with driveline,u-bolts,splines talk.....
but you say the transmission is fine so i will have a beer actually, and hopefully all that other stuff you named isnt anything serious......
thanks again

also i actually forgot the light where the gear shift is(drive, reverse, etc) went out...is this some sort of warning sigh or just a bad bulb?

Default cannot figure this out

Ok so I bought a 88 limited cherokee for $500.00 about a month ago. It ran somewhat rough but after an oil change it sounded better. I did a major tune up including new plugs, wirers, air filter, altenator, starter, six new fuel injectors, and surpenten belt, but the exuast is pushing out black somke. the enigne also idels at 100 to 200 rpm after about five minutes and sometimes dies! I am pretty sure it has somewthing to do with the injectors (becaue after I changed them the smoke started to happen) but I just don't know what. I tried replacing the o2 sensor and re-setting the computer. I think it is someting simple but I am new to the Jeep world. Can anyone help?...
