did this today at work on lunch break. i installed a throttle body spacer and i think that may have changed the shift points alittle..i couldnt tell because i bought the new jeep tuesday, drove it home then put the tbs on so didnt really have time to notice but after doing this quick little fix it works great cuz before it wouldnt downshift when going uphill.
