Torque converter going bad?

If you do have water in the fluid, the lucas slip stop will just help destroy the transmission while you drive it to see if it has effect.

You 'really' need to do your own visual on the fluid. It's easy, just pull the dipstick out and see what the stuff looks like. If it is brown and smells like burnt toast, you are in for a rebuild. If it's foamy and clear it's too full and the foam will kill the unit because air bubbles don't lubricate. If it looks like a milkshake it has water and needs to be drained and replaced. Twice likely to get all the water out.

Open the hood. Look at the motor.

The Inline 6 will have all 6 cylinders in a line. The V6 will have 3 cylinders on one side and 3 more on the other side. You may need to look at a known I6 and a V6 side by side to see the difference. It isn't required to have them side by side, but if you have to ask, the picture says a thousand words.

And, except for the latest version of Jeeps, you have an I6. The Liberty gets a V6, and there was a V6 in the Cherokee back in the mid to late '80s that was a real dog.

Yes, but that was a very long time ago, and the OP hasn't got one of those.
