Alright so my transmission has been having huge problems.
When I accelerate I shoot way up to ~4000 RPM
Trans light is on too. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
i know its not a fluid issue for i have had her flushed ~60k ago.

Thank you!

So your about 2 trans services behind.

Trans light is the over temp,you have overheated your trans.#1 killer of a auto is high heat.It's most likely it's to late to save it since it's slipping and overheating.

Ever rebuild a auto trans? Granted there not hard but can easily be screwed up.

Just trying to see if that's the best route

I'm still going to rebuild mine, but at my leisure.

In the meantime, I bought a used trans with 50,000 miles on it and installed it in my Liberty. It works perfectly and I'm very happy with it, especially for the price - and I didn't have to pull it at the junkyard.

Bought mine on eBay, but you can search http://www.car-part.com/ for available transmissions in your area.

I pulled mine, cleaned the cooler and lines thoroughly with cooler flush and installed the 'new' one - all in my back yard. Much cheaper than having it done at a shop, but I had time since I have other running vehicles.
