'02 X-Type 2.5L is shocking at 1500-1700 RPM

Hello everyone,

I have an automatic 2002 X-Type 2.5L V6, and every time when I drive around 70 km/h (1500-1700 RPM), the car shocks pretty hard.
It happens when the car is in the 5th gear, and only around that RPM. When I put the car in the 4th gear (2200-2500 RPM), it drives perfectly fine. When I drive faster (higher RPM), it also drives well.

Does anyone have an idea what could fix it?

Thanks!
