14 jku 488 gear replacement
- Thread starter Indy14jk
- Start date
So many people have this problem.
My parents just to drive theirs had to let off the gas just to shift. My brother's did this and Rebel had to fix something on it. They said he didn't do the break in period right.
I would take it back and have them look at it. They both did and it worked fine. I forget the problem that was causing it tho.

Did you use a tuner, procal, or something similar to update the tune with the new ratio? I know there is something about the 3.6 jk going into limp mode if the tune is not updated after regearing.
This is assuming you have an automatic.

You need to change your gear ratio in the computer. Any reputable shop would have told you that and not allowed you to drive away like that.

I highly doubt a gear brake in issue would cause computer issues. Actually it wouldn't.

But, you'll need the tuner to calibrate the speedo and trans anyway.

Aren't you running 37s? How do you not have a tuner? Not only do you need it for your gears, you also need to tell your Jeep that it has bigger tires.

There is no way it was only 3-4 mph difference.

For the automatics, it also adjusts your shift point to compensate for the bigger tires.

But why do you want an inaccurate speedo on a new vehicle?
