    Gear slipping?

    It did it again today in 2nd gear. I down shifted and stepped a little deep on the peddle and it slipped. Didn't come out of gear. It just slipped and kept going. Of course I was off the peddle as soon as it happened. I'm aware of how to check the trans fluid, is there anything else I should...

    Gear slipping?

    I don't smell anything. I'm wondering if I am putting to much demand at lower RPMs. When I hit a hill or something and the RPMs start falling and I push the acceleration a lil more that's when it does it.

    Gear slipping?

    715000 right now. Tires measure 30 inches from ground to top. Been told that is considered 32s but not sure. 6 speed manual tranny 3.21 gear ratio as fat as I know. The tag is not on the diff plate. Don't know if it's been regeared or the tag just came off. RPMs do not go up. I thought maybe...

    Looks like the Jeep was a lot tougher than the minivan.

    Ducking Jeeps

    I got ducked once. They left it tucked into my door handle. I appreciated that. Wouldn't like any stranger doing that. If people are opening other Jeeps, then i'm surprised there hasn't been any shootings on the news saying, turns out the nice man was leaving a rubber ducky in the vehicle to...

    Gear slipping?

    I bought a 2012 Wrangler 2 door in March. I found out quick 6th gear in the manual is a hold speed only, as long as your not going up any incline. I felt the slip or something. I'm assuming it was gear slip. But I'm not sure there is anything wrong with the tranny, it's more like maybe it kicks...

    33's and how high?

    Cool. Never would have thought I could get it there and thanks for the site. I looked for the tag. It's not there. Don't know if it came off or someone upgraded gears. Thanks for all ur help.

    33's and how high?

    Was just sitting here thinking the same thing. I learned a lot with my old Jeep. But it was an 84 CJ7. Nothing like the wrangler I have now. Have to relearn stuff from the beginning again. Thanks man. I appreciate it.

    33's and how high?

    Read about that but no jack came with it. Have to get one. Would count the teeth but don't want to pull the diff cover right now. Trying to figure out which bolt I pull to check tranny fluid.

    33's and how high?

    Yea, MacGyver was saying the same thing. So now it's hard to decide. I'm just not sure I want to give up any power at all. I'm also not so sure now of my gear ratio. If my tires are considered 32s then I marked the wrong RPM to reference in the chart. Think I might put tires on hold a bit and...

    33's and how high?

    Yea I have heard about the app. A definite in my plans. . Anything you can tell me about the gecko pearlcoat? Noticing some spots where the paint is gone. Especially on the door jambs. I'd also like to get rid of the heavy rear swing gate bumper. Prolly the front to. Rather have something more...

    33's and how high?

    Hey MacGyver, thanks for your reply. The wheels are not stock I'm sure. It has LT265/70R17 on it and all the rims show is the emblem in the pics. I was going for 35s but then I was advised to find the gear ratio. I did read about the shaft rotation but I didn't get a jack with it. THE RPM...

    Gecko Wrangler

    Got my 2012 Gecko this past March. Either someone took very good care of it or it got a paint job recently. But I do notice there are some spots that were missed or the paint has worn off. I believe I have the pearl coat. Anyone know what I can do to fix these spots and it blend in good with the...

    33's and how high?

    Was getting 35s but found out for sure I have the 3.21 ratio by the rpm's at 70.so no bigger tires. Running 30 inch tires right now so I wonder if 33's be OK. I'm cool with how it runs right now. Good acceleration. Will 33's take very much away if I go with a lighter tire? Muds on it right now...

    Bigger tires

    I found out the gears stock are 3.21. Not so sure tho. No tag anywhere on the diff. Maybe fell off? Maybe someone upgraded? Going to try to calculate by the rpm method and see what I come up with. Found something where the front shaft coming from the transfer case. Don't know if this is bad or...

    Bigger tires

    I have that info. It is 3.21 from factory. But with the tag missing on the diff, I'm not positive. Could have fallen off or someone upgraded. Tomorrow I'm going to calculate by the rpm method. The pic looks like the seal is broken. That's where the shafts comes from the tcase.

    Bigger tires

    Actually I was wrong. The tires measure 30 in diameter. I have an issue I found today. The shaft coming from the transfer case to front axle has a problem. Don't know if this is bad or not.
