Description of the problem | My transmission make a high pitched squeal anytime i am going up a mountain side or even on a slight hill if i am going over 2. 5 rmps. It also has difficulty downshifting and upshifting a slower speeds. Shifts very rough and sometimes feels like the transmission is going to fall out. I also have had it where i need to speed up to avoid a hazard only to have the transmission bottom out for a second or two and not kick into the motor. So i don't speed up. I just kind of keep going at the same speed. I only have 22,000 miles on it but it feels like the transmission is from and 1960's car. This should be investigated. I believe that the transmission that was installed on these models was a newer type that jeep just started using and i can see from my own internet research that there are many many complaints regarding this model of transmission. |
