transmission

I’ve heard so many mixed things about yes you do service them, no you don’t, service at 60k, service at 100k, don’t ever service. I’d really not like to have to buy a new transmission. I’m at 63k miles and it shifts flawlessly, but now I’m worried what I should do! Help!

I was told by the dealer that because the eco diesel uses the ZF8 transmission and it is sealed I do not have to change the transmission fluid. Other internet searches reveal I have to change it between 60000 and 70000 miles. Which is correct?

My transmisison is going out, and I am planning to replace it with a used transmission that has about 40K miles. While I have transmission out, do you think I need to replace any other parts? AI gave me a long list, just not sure if this is right. Here is what it is recommending: Transmission...

Hey everyone — I wanted to follow up on the heat-exchanger discussion that’s come up here over the years and share something I finally put together. After reading through a lot of posts on this forum and digging into the Factory Service Manual and part revisions, I made a short video breaking...

I originally posted this writeup on wranglerforum.com, but I recently joined this forum, so I figured I would spread the word here as well. After 6 years of owning my JL with the 6MT, I have finally discovered how to bypass the clutch interlock switch to start the vehicle in gear. Those of you...

I purchased a used Wrangler with 43k miles on it. From what I can tell from the Car Fax it was well maintained but the transmission was never serviced. So I pulled the pan and replaced it with a PPE pan and filter and put AMSOIL ATL back in. It took 6qts. So I grabbed a sample of the factory...

My wrangler broke down and was found to have a bad TCM. That is built into the valve body. Replaced valve body/TCM. Immediately upon starting jeep, part broke again before even driving. Dealers stumped. 2 inch mopar lift, 35” tires, z automotive tazer that now can’t be unmarried because no...

Howdy, 2021 JLU 6speed 55k miles bone stock. I was cruising today and threw the hammer down to get ahead of traffic... I pushed the shifter from 2nd into 3rd, released clutch, applied gas, and it was as if I was revving in neutral. Odd... slowly re-engaged 2nd gear, released clutch, and...

Hi, I recently purchased my neighbor's 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X with an automatic transmission. My neighbor informed me that the vehicle had been sitting for 6 years and hasn't moved since. He mentioned that he couldn't get the vehicle out of park. After doing some research, I found that a...

My vin is 1C4HJXEN4KW607290 2019 wrangler sahara 2.0 turbo with w/ etorque donor transmission info is in photo, seems like an exact match to me. Anyone see any mis match / issues? thanks!

So I went to change the oil over the weekend, and while I was down there I cleaned up some gunk around the oil pan area. I also removed a single caked on drop of what looked like oil from the same place as noted in the photo. I’m noticing just a tiny bit of what looks like oil on that same...

Hi all, I've had my vehicle for a few years now (22" JLUR 3.6 Auto) and I've noticed in recent months, there is a noise possibly from the transmission. Sounds like a buzzing or zip noise. This sound is very hard to capture and It gets loud enough that I can hear it with my windows up. I did...

RESOLUTION: After much driving and some disassembly, the MOPAR techs discovered the OEM, original factory shifter cables (2018). Replaced, problem solved! A Little disturbed that me phone call from the dealer was different that the final write-up. Service write mentioned clutch cable. On...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...
