Why is my Jeep Wrangler not accelerating at all?
If your Wrangler is too low on transmission fluid, it’ll will no longer be able to transfer power to the rear wheels. The power goes to the torque converter, and that’s the end of the line. You should check the transmission fluid immediately. This is the number one cause of not accelerating but the RPM’s Go up.
Why is my Jeep Wrangler sticking in 2nd gear?
If it was sticking in 2nd gear, it would be that the trans has gone into limp mode. But you’re saying it’s hitting the other gears just high rpm. I know JK has a rev limiter (aka why my Jeep didn’t self destruct in 1st gear at freeway speed, tho the sound I will never ever forget lol). I am curious to see what the experts say.
Why is my Jeep Wrangler reluctant to upshift?
Experiencing an issue with the wife’s 2013 JKU Sport Automatic. When I’m gently accelerating (barely touching the gas pedal to maybe 1/4 throttle), her Jeep wants to hold whichever gear it’s in for waaaaay too long. 2nd gear, 40ish mph at 5k rpm? You betcha. 65mph at 5500rpm in 3rd gear? Why not?…
What’s the highest RPM you can go in a Jeep Wrangler?
I was holding accelerator at maybe 5%, took my foot completely off it at ~5k rpm, it ramped up to ~5100, then took about a second and a half to shift to 3rd. Reminded me of that scene from Dogma – “What gear are you in???”

Is the Jeep Wrangler Reman motor dirt cheap?
A Reman motor will only cost you $1500 and a weekend to swap it, or half that for a transmission, so long term cost to run it is dirt cheap, vs. the 6cyl w/auto at twice that price, or my 1/2 ton truck, which costs three times that to rebuild. It’s not plush or fast, but it crawls up anything, gets lots of admiration and ride requests!
