Having problems with it shifting gears properly, it seems to pull and the **** when catches not sure what it could be...its a 2004 jeep grand cherokee laredo v6 4.0L

hat the issue is with the gear shifter mechanism or the linkages that connect the shifter to the transmission. Here are some steps you can try:

1. Check the shifter cable: Make sure that the shifter cable is connected properly and that there are no kinks or frays in the cable.
2. Inspect the linkage: Take a look at the linkages that connect the shifter to the transmission and make sure they are properly attached and not damaged.
3. Lubricate the mechanism: Apply some lubricant to the shifter mechanism to see if this helps.

If these steps do not solve the issue, it may be best to have a professional mechanic diagnose and repair the problem.
The issue you are facing with your 2005 Jeep Liberty is likely due to a problem with the shifter cable or the gear selector mechanism. It's recommended that you have a qualified mechanic diagnose and repair the problem as it may require disassembling the shifter and selector mechanism. If the problem is a broken shifter cable, it will need to be replaced. If it is a problem with the selector mechanism, it may need to be cleaned, lubricated, or repaired.

yes

You have binding in your drivetrain, Make sure all your tyres are the same size and not work unevenly, You can get friction modifiers that help smoother shifting, also you may want to check your diff oil levels.

check fluid level,the fluid is what makes clutches ,bands ,and servos in transmission work.
the level can be very critical,either too little,or too much as well

Passing gear?

Were are not in the 1970's anymore

Your transmission is computer controlled &
certainly does have issues.

I suspect you will be pulling it soon & having it rebuilt

Problem sounds like an internal pressure problem not a cable. If you are able to shift into all gears using the shifter, the linkage is being moved properly. It cannot "come out of gear" by way of the shifter.
In reality, if you were able to manually put the shift lever on the transmission into any particular gear without any shift cable at all attached, it would stay in that selected position forever till you got under there and moved it again. Depending upon what transmission you are using you may have a throttle cable running between the trans and throttle lever on the throttle body...this may have something to do with your problem but would also affect shift points. Any electronic shift controls are also suspect at this point. have it checked by a competent shop. In not being there myself, I can only offer my thoughts on what I would test going into the problem...after testing a better evaluation can be made. Good luck...Hope it's something simple.

Kind of sounds like 1st gear might either be slipping out, or its not being recognized by the solenoid...does it wind out then catch with a boost?

Have a code check done and see if speed sensor or controller is working properly. if bought from a dealer, get it back there asap...they can't sell it in that condition!!...No test drive before you ploped down your money?

Check fluid to make sure it's full. Did you check to make sure that when you move the shifter, the transmission shift lever on the case moves? Assuming it's an automatic, if fluid is full and linkage moves properly, has fluid been changed? If not, do it! (including filter) If when changing fluid, you find an excessive amount of fine metal or clutch material in pan, chances are the unit has worn out and needs rebuild, If everything inside is clean & good then finish with change and check results.If still having same problem it's likely internal or if electrically shifted, a shift module problem etc.

Sounds very much like low fluid. It is possible that trans sustained some internal problem from impact, but I'd check fluid first... If further attention is necessary don't forget to inform your ins co right away!!
