Just got another vehicle, a 2010 Jeep GC Limited 4x4. It was a deal too good to pass up from a friend of the wifes who needed to sell it off.
The transmission.......the single most car problem that will send me to the grave early. Already had three cars go kaput in the past. Well, it seems to have nothing major with it except it upshifts from 2nd to 3rd almost instantly. When downshifting from 2nd to 1st, the RPM's rev up for a sec then stabilize. Otherwise, it shifts great.
I took it to a trusted transmission specialist and he could not find any problems, he reset the software and told me to drive it for 10 miles then turn it off for 5 minutes. This should help alleviate the symptoms. Well, a day later and they are still there, just not as bad but seems to upshift to 3rd a little harder.
He said it would be best to just get a tranny service and not to worry, there are no codes or anything showing up but those small things bug me and I want it corrected.
Hoping a service will help and have been calling shops all morning trying to get squeezed in. Half of them recommend to flush the fluid, the other half says not too if the car is over 110k miles.
Which is it? Any help is appreciated. Will/could this fix the problem?
Two mechanics saw nothing wrong and that it is what it is. With my luck, something was overlooked and I will be on a 4th transmission........it just doesn't feel normal but I have never owned a full-time four wheel drive before.
