2014 Jeep Cherokee 6Cyl 4WD bangs in 5th
Hi and I have a new 2014 Cherokee and love it except if "bangs" a bit when going from 4th to 5th gear. Is this normal ?
Thanks
Thanks

^This, and yes it is "normal" (unless it is really rough), the dog-clutches used in the ZF 9-speed aren't as "gentle" as the plate/band clutches used in most automatics. A software update may help a little (if your Jeep didn't ship with the latest version) but even with the latest software the ZF 9-speed isn't as smooth as most traditional automatics.
