Description of the problem	When driving my jeep around say anywhere above 25 mph, if i let off the gas pedal, the front end nose dives and a loud clunk is felt like the transmission fell out. Maintenance is up to date, gas has no water, it just does this every single day. So i have to drive my jeep a certain way in order to try to avoid this beating on the transmission. Another version of this is for example: i go to pass a car i step on the gas, the transmission kicks down like it should but when i'm ready to slow down after passing a loud clunk! And the vehicle nose dives again like someone had put it in 1st gear at 50mph. About 50% of the time after this happens my rpm's will stay very high like when it drops down for passing it wont shift down for the speed im doing it wants to stay in the passing gear. There has been even times when its really bad, and the rpm's wont regulate down i have to pull over put the vehicle in park and start over. Its very exhausting and hazardous with this transmission and this jeep. Nothing but problems.
