Interesting. Maybe I'm just getting old and light on the go pedal. I wonder if gearing somehow plays into this, as well. With the 4.56s, I find the transmission never really gets strung out or laggy. Just click-and-go.
Yes. I notice my transmission shifting more after I regeared to 4.88.

Having said that, with 35-inch tires on the original 3.45 gears, the entire drivetrain had slipped into a coma... ?

Another cool time saving pro tip is to not put on your seat belt. Those seconds really add up.

Well for anyone that might be interested…

two dealerships said the slamming into gear at slow parking lot speeds was unfortunately normal. So… there is that.
However, I was fortunate enough to have one dealership screw up a free oil change at 17,000 miles, and my rear main seal was leaking the moment I got it home. Took it to a different dealership to have it repaired. They replaced the rear main seal, all is good, and bonus!! Somehow the slamming is gone! Blessing in disguise I say!!

My jeep has less than 2000 miles on it and already needed the soft top replaced because it was shaking and rattling so bad. I picked it up yesterday and it started doing the same thing on the way home. Then, I saw that the tech forget to put the green plastic pieces into the channels. After I fixed that, it was still rattling but not as bad.

My 2017 Lincoln Navigator did this since day1 if I timed the brake and accelerate just right — it would slam so hard the whole street would hear. My 2021 Yukon also did this (and I’d assume Escalade since it’s the same drivetrain).

While my 2022 JLUXR does it too, it’s nowhere as harsh — it will just jerk as if it’s engaging the first gear at speed when it should be already engaging the second.

I’ve grown to think that’s just how automatic transmissions mated to torquey engines work — if anything, Jeep does it way better than anything I had before, and takes a much more precise/unfortunate timing of braking and accelerating.

…and don’t get me started on trying to accelerate just as Audi Q7’s overly eager start/stop system shuts down the engine while you’re still rolling…

The trans tuning feels different from the 2.0 to the 3.6. My dads JT does a much better job holding a gear and making it feel like the torque converter stays locked at a lower rpm.
