transmission

Here are three jobs that are or were part of my monthly maintenance routine. I learned about these after I joined this forum. In addition to keeping parts or systems in good working order, these jobs involve lifting the hood and crawling under the vehicle every month. Needless to say, this...

This is a set of written instructions on how to do a pan drop on a Jeep Gladiator or Wrangler 2018+. Reference docs and photos are also included. @Maximus Gladius, coauthor and technical advisor, has performed no fewer than ten pan drops on his two Jeep Gladiators. For more info on the...

Hey Folks! Long time listener, first time caller. I have a 2023 Mojave and I’m looking for some input because the dealership apparently doesn’t have any real information for me. At approx 28k-30k miles I started to hear a loud high pitch whine while driving at highway speeds. Eventually I...

EDIT: This thread is DIESEL engine specific. I saw this transmission pan adds 2.5 qt capacity and was wondering if anyone is running it? I'm gonna change out my transmission fluid + filter anyway and will have to lower the pan. It would be a good time to add this aftermarket upgrade. Will it...

Hello everyone, I'm new here and I have just purchased a 2024 Gladiator Rubicon Mopar 24 edition. I have less than a 1000 miles and a few times the engine light has come on and I can't get it to go into gear. The dash says something like shift to park then shift to desired gear. The gear I've...

Hello everyone. I am new to the forums and I hope to find a guru to assist me a little bit. I am currently awaiting the last few parts and will be replacing my engine and transmission. This is a 23 Gladiator Rubicon. Aside from replacing all of the parts, my main question is what will need to...

2023 Mojave 6-speed Backstory : purchase my Jeep mid January 2024 and prior to purchase it had the clutch recall and gear position sensor recalls performed. At 200 miles I installed nitro 35x11.50r17 trail grapplers which measure 34.76” on manufactures website and I calibrated speedometer...

Hi! 2022 Gladiator - Rubicon with a manual transmission here. I was just changing the transmission fluid, and noticed maybe 2-3 metal chunks in on my drain plug. I know it's normal to have a fine powder, and sometimes concerning to have chunks. The chunks were no larger than a grain of sand, and...

I recently bought a 2023 Gladiator Mojave with the manual transmission. I put around 2800miles on it and everything was great. I decided to put 37s on and I also bought a Taser module to correct for the increased tire size. I drove with the 37s without using the Taser for around 200 miles with...

Pic for attention I guess..? Hi, I have a 2021 Gladiator Mojave with 8spd automatic currently at 28000mi. I really love my truck and put pretty passionate work into the setup. However, I have no engine/transmission knowledge and I can't even judge if this is considered as an issue or I'm just...

I encountered this issue before when the vehicle was stock and again after trying it for a second time. I was switched into 4h went over top of a small hill as a test, stopped and switched back to 2 wheel but my transmission was spinning in neutral but the shifter was in gear. I switched back...

So my commute was recently cut down to 1.5 miles. I'm now a hop and a skip from work. The drive is long enough for my engine to get warmed up to proper temps but not long enough for the tranny. Should I be concerned that I'm not bringing the tranny up to proper temps 10x a week (to and from)...

So I recently picked up a used 2020 Jeep Gladiator Sport with a soft top around Christmas time in 2021. I have been very pleased over-all yet have experienced the not so wonderful sound of my 2nd gear popping out violently when going from 3rd to 2nd. This issue only occurs 3rd to 2nd. My first...

Had random shutoffs after hitting rumble strips, expansion joints and railroad crossings. Almost got tboned twiced. Happened 5 times in 2 days out of nowhere. Wife said it died on her and we attributed it to the auto start stop, when it happened after the first week of purchase. Didnt have a...

Starters: vehicle is a '21 Gladiator Rubicon 3.6L 8 speed automatic with 43,000 miles on it. Entirely stock powertrain but I do have the Mopar lift and 35s. So I know this is going to be hard to tell from video but I'm hoping someone will have a confident guess. TL;DR my Gladiator is making...

Gladiator MPG... I have noticed as well as others that the Gladiator MPG sweet spot is right around 60-65 and below after that it starts to go down when cruising on the highway, at least that is my experience. Now I have had horrible experience with the F9 9 Speed Transmission found in the...

Just going from a stop to first I have to be on the throttle while depressing the clutch pedal. Going up all the other gears, 1st -> 2nd, 2nd - 3rd//4th.... Should I be pressing the throttle while I press the clutch in, and also be pressing the throttle while depressing the clutch? Or should...
