'07 Auto trans shudder

Wheelz said:

Here's an issue I'm having. My jeep starts up fine, but then when it's warm there's a slight shudder when I'm stopped. And then when I'm driving at speed, and try to accelerate, there's almost like a hesitation when it downshifts. It feels like I ran over a small bump almost. Maybe the gears are slipping?

For a quick background, it's an '07 auto trans 2 door Jk. A week ago, I got it back from the dealer where they changed the front ball joints, speed sensors, and hubs. Then, the next day, I put on new 33x12.5x15 Duratracs on 15" MB Razors from Discount Tire.

Are you pulling any CEL codes?

From your description, it kinda sounds to me like one of your cylinders is misfiring. If you're lucky, repairing it could be as simple as a spark plug & wiring harness replacement.

Have you changed the plugs before? If not then that is extremely likely to be your issue. Mine where shot at around 50k, I can't believe that these manufacturers honesty think these things will go 100k with out the need for new ones:screwy:

X2. Mine crapped out at around 60K. The symptoms I experienced were almost the same as what you listed. :thumb:
