Shudders and dies when in reverse
My 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7 2WD shudders and dies if I put in in reverse and press the gas pedal...the faster I reverse, the more violent the shuddering is (for a couple seconds) then it dies. I can't find any related posts.
Background...Just this week I had an oil/lube/filter change, a front end brake job, and a new battery installed. I did not notice the problem until after these things were done, but I have never throttled my car in reverse either. Just did it to check the brakes in reverse...any thoughts. PRAYING it's nothing major!!!
Thanks for you time!

Have it scanned for transmission codes.

Do you have a check engine light?
Start by having the transmission checked out-

No lights on...Runs perfect in all other gears and runs in reverse fine as long as I don't press the gas too hard.

Can transmisions be worked on or adjusted, or would be most likely be a replacement. Just curious of your thoughts!

They can be adjusted a little. VERY little.
