if it weren't for Walt i would never have gotten it done. Now alignment. Programmer. I'll be set. Trans sis t shifting right because it was a gear change also. I had 321 and these are 373

It's lower geared to compensate for the larger tires.

my pcm thinks I have a 3:21 and I have 3:73 now. So it's not shifting right at all.

Either get a programmer or an ECU from the vehicle you swapped from.

Thanks fellas...likewise for everyone
I didn't know the new jeeps needed programming...
I thought it just shifted as it goes...do you know if the speedo gear would help if you swap that over?

Never mind quick search led me here...

I'm buying a superchip f5 pro cal. It will calibrate me for whatever gear and what ever tires. You can adjust a lot with it. Turn the stability control off on 2wd turn traction control off. Lots of cool stuff. Going for alignment sometime tomorrow. My driver tire is strait the passenger is toe out bad. You can imagine how it drives :/

older jeeps don't have this problem. Remember all those wheel sensors lol. Those read off the rotor I think. So the bigger tires or gear ratio change effects how the transmission shifts. It doesent even have a speedo gear. Have to have the programmer

Every nut fought me until the end till I started feeling woozy I found a spot where there was shade and sat down breathing hard,headache, and still woozy for a couple minutes...I didn't have water or anyone to help me so I just grabbed my tool bag and struggled because I have a heavy tool bag...but made to the front of the junkyard where there's a lunch truck I grabbed a Gatorade and cooled down...
I went the next day prepared...ice cold water, food, and hydrated...

I feel ya there. I was going to attempt to remove an XJ hitch, but the junk yard I was at reminds all the wheels and leaves the vehicles just sitting on the ground. So I loaded up my HiLift jack and all my tools into the wheelbarrow and traipsed my happy *** all the way to the back corner of the lot where the XJs were. By the time I got the jeep jacked up and discovered the hitch was too rusty to even refurbish, I was already overheated. I used an open hatch to use as shade long enough to cool down and make the hike back. It was not a good day.

Yup. In the military, you'd get a silver bullet. Fun.

it's in my new wrangler. It don't use speedo gears. It's drive by wire. Only a programmer will fix it. But I'm locked front and back now. It drives like a trophy truck

Steering stabilizer fixed my death wobble. Alignment and a programmer will fix my issues. It's taking off I'm 2nd. I'm guessing because of the bigger gears. If it does shift down to first it won't shift out. I have to turn it off and start it back real quick then it will reset.
