  1. Service Transmission Warning after Clutch Replacement

    We have a 2018, JL sport Unlimited with 6 speed transmission, that is still under warranty . We received the 19S/NHTSA 23v-116 clutch replacement safety recall notice in December and had our clutch replaced earlier this month. When we got the vehicle back we noticed the clutch engaged pretty...
  2. JKUR transmission issue

    Hi, I know this is a JL forum, but wanted to post here and see if anyone else has seen similar issues - and if so how they fixed them? On my 2016 JKUR with about 35k miles, we are having a weird / non repeatable issue with the transmission and(or) transfer case. Every once in a while, when we...
  3. 8spd Whine? Low Trans Fluid?

    I recently noticed that my 8spd has been making an audible but not loud whining noise in 5th & 6th gear while climbing a grade on the highway. It kind of sounds like my Jeep has a little super charger or something. I have heard that this may mean the transmission is low of fluid. I understand...
  4. Transmission issue & warranty woes

    TL;DR: Purchased a 2021 JL Rubicon, facing transmission issues at 31,000 miles, including hard shifts and jerks. Initial dealer (Krebs Automotive) was unhelpful, suggested a transmission relearn but didn't fix the issue. A local shop found dark fluid and metal shavings in the transmission...
  5. Manual Transmission Production Delays

    Seems like all the MT's are stuck in the production phase. Anyone that has an updates or insight on production delays, recalls, timelines, ect. please give an update on what you know. Seems like there's very little info being passed out about it.
  6. Trouble shifting into first from dead stop. Normal?

    Hello! Intermittently, when at a dead stop my manual 6 speed JLUR will shift halfway into first but not fully unless I push really hard, which I avoid having to do. When this happens, I I shift to 2nd and then into first, it falls into gear perfectly. After I get it to align into first, it...
  7. B&M Manual Precision Shifters: Honest Review with Notes and Links on Purchasing and Installation

    Recently, I installed the B&M Manual Transmission and Transfer Case Shifters. I have been considering this upgrade for quite some time as I found the clutch and shifting of the JL to be rather soft and forgiving. Plus, I just didn't like the look of the stock handles. After driving with them for...
  8. Resisting to go into reverse or back into park

    2018 JLUR with 85k miles 3.6 L Automatic Transmission Just had rotors and brake pads replaced a couple weeks ago and today had to slam on my brakes to avoid rear ending someone who pulled out in front of me. Got home and tried to put it in park and it wouldn’t go past reverse. Eventually after a...

  10. JL “HOPPING/SLIP” WHILE HIGH RPM???

    Hey everyone so I have a 2022 JL 4 door Rubi. 3.6 Manual. I put BP gas in it, 87 as manual says. One thing I have noticed, and it has been noticed mostly in third gear while I am at high RPMs (above 2,500) probably around 37 mph and still applying gas pedal, I noticed that the jeep feels like...
  11. Clutch Failure

    Has anyone encountered a similar issue? One of the clutch spring straps (not sure what they’re called) broke and tried to cut my bellhousing in half. Not sure if this is common or if this is unique.

    Hi, after doing a disappointing shakedown run on my JLURD yesterday, one of the many issues experienced has me thinking about an upgrade. for those that are using the diesel as intended (i.e. towing, heavy overland builds, or heavy offroad usage with lots of weight) i am wondering what options...
  13. New JLU Rubicon 392 broken again

    I received my Hydro blue 392 about 6 months ago. The first time it left me stranded was on a trail. Just a dead battery. No room on the trail to jump, so I pulled a friend's battery and carried it down the trail to get the Jeep started. Dealer tested and replaced battery free of charge. Had to...
  14. Transmission Swap Auto to Manual?

    Ignorant question but is it possible to swap an automatic transmission out for a manual transmission? Looking at random parts and saw the transmissions, which made me think, is it possible and would it economically make any sense over buying a new Jeep? The reason I ask is while I bought an...
  15. 8-Speed Automatic Question

    I just recently purchased my first Jeep JL 4dr Willys. And for the most part absolutely LOVE it. My Gf also purchased a Willys and having driven both through different parts of our community, I notice that mine tends to hold itself in 7th gear longer at 70-80 mph…obviously impacting fuel...
  16. Is this turbo whine or something else? Help me diagnose.

    So about a few month ago I started to notice this whine upon acceleration, sounds something like a police siren going off in the distance. With that said, if I'm in Park or Neutral and just give it gas, it doesn't make this noise. Nor does it make any when coasting. I have to note however that...
  17. (Question) Differential / Transfer Case Fluid Change

    Long Story Short, I'm getting a new transmission under warranty. That Jeep dealership called me that they needed to do a Differential/transfer case fluid change. The service would cost me $700 :CWL: So I said no, I'll go somewhere else But in all seriousness. The JL has 3 spots for the change...
  18. JLU RPM and 8 speed shifting issues?

    Hey everyone - recently just purchased a brand new JLU Sahara with the 3.6 V6 Etorque 8-speed auto trans and it has always been my dream to get one! Had the MOPAR 2 inch lift put on at the dealership, and currently running 35s. Not sure if it is a Wrangler tuning issue but it seems to never want...
  19. Possible damage without shifting to neutral before putting into 4L?

    Like the title said, what are the possible damage that could be caused without putting my transmission to N before shifting to 4L. I had someone drive my Jeep yesterday on the trails and they forgot to put it into Neutral before shifting to 4L and there was a big jerk and some grinding noises...
  20. Fire result of transmission failure

    So my new wrangler JL with the 3.6l and the 6 speed manual decided to self detonate. It happened on 12/21/2019 and as of today FCA and Jeep refuses to speak with me whatsoever. After researching night and day and doing a lot of digging, it appears this is not as uncommon as people think. This...
