nwaring Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 2011 all wheel drive 3.6L 33,000 miles A few months ago I started to notice that our DJ when running around town < 35 mph the transmission would shift right up to 5th or 6th gear and hang onto that gear. The motor would start to lug and you can hear a slight noise from underneath. It takes a healthy stab on the peddle to get it to downshift but then the transmission goes right back to the higher gears. It is so annoying that I started to shift it manually when running around town I never go higher than 4th and that works great. I wish we had a button we could press and override the top 2 gears when we want. Has anyone else noticed this and do think one of the programming changes might resolve it. I don't really remember it acting like this when it was newer. I have though about disconnecting the battery and letting everything reset but so far I haven't done that Thoughts anybody?

ChopRod Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 This site has other posts regarding this. Its a pain in the ass and seems thay can't fiqure out how to reprogram the TCM correctly. My father has a 2012 Kia Soul Red Rock with the 6spd trans and it shifts wonderfully. Doesn't drive as nice as my R/T but does aggravate you either.
