1992 Jeep Cherokee Sport Jerking at 40-50mph

Between 3rd and 5th gear ( manual transmission ) there's a jerking motion. None of the gages in the dash cluster move. The oil isn't low either. I must mention that there is 319,000 miles on the vehicle but I haven't have any problems with it until now and I've had it for almost 3 years and put about 100,000 miles on the vehicle myself. Someone, please help!

SOURCE: 2001 Jeep Cherokee has issue with transmission issue.

You have pretty much answered your own question. Change the fluid and filter and put a bottle of lucas conditioner in there. Likely the valving is all gummed up.
The conditioner should help with that. It will not happen immediately though...it took time to build up gunk...takes a while to remove it. If it helps, change the fluid again (you actually are only changing about half of it on each change) and use additive again.
Since it works manually, I don't recommend doing any adjustments.

Why the sudden jerking?

Fuel filter clogged and or impurities in the fuel system.faulty or incorrectly gapped spark plugs.Fault in fuel electrical system.Defective spark plug wires. Faulty emission system components.Vacuum leaks at the throttle body intake manifold or vacuum hoses. I would first look at the fuel inline filters it sounds like this is the likely problem.

96 escort 1.9 manual jerking while accelerating 96 escort 1.9 manual

best advice is dont go 40mph in 5th gear... if you are going up a hill at 40mph in 5th gear i have no doubt that it is jerking, your putting too much stress on the engine. shift up to 4th or 3rd you will be fine. 5th gear is an overdrive gear. 55+mph

2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, automatic,4.0, 4x4, - Makes a jerking motion almost as if it goes out of gear for 2 seconds and kicks back in). But it only does it on SHARP left hand turns only. It changes gears...

Check your transmission fluid level. If the unit is low, the oil sloshes away from the pickup and a burp of air runs through the unit causing momentary slippage. if you go around the same turn slower that doesn't happen. In rare cases an internal shaft bushing or seal can be bad and the shaft can move having the same result...but as I said, that's rare.

I am assuming your transmission is a 5speed manual. What is the tachometer reading when you experience this jerking in 5th gear? It sounds like the engine is being lugged. If you are trying to pull a hill or accelerate in 5th gear at less than 40 or 45mph, you need to downshift to a lower gear.

Transmission Slight Jerking When Slowing & Accelerating

Have you changed the trasmission fluid and filter in your jeep lately, if not do so and that just might stop the jerking in your jeep, and if that does not do the trick you will need to have your trasmission checked out by a trasmission shop.

Transmission problem in E230 Benz

What you need to check is the transmission release bearing because if there is a clearance on the release bearing you will encounter this problem and also check the transmission oil.
