What happens when I downshift from 3-2 to 2-1?
The transmission will downshift hard from 3-2 and sometimes 2-1 causing a small jerking of the jeep and occasionally a light clunk. The most noticeable is the 3-2 shift which happens around 20mph with the engine around 1000 rpm (under braking, not acceleration.)
Can a 3.7 transmission downshift to full throttle?
You say the fluid levels are fine BUT-my 3.7 will do the same thing-with downright violent, part throttle upshifts if the level gets below half way in the safe area on the dipstick. Are you in the safe area or actually full?
When does the downshift feel like getting rearended?
It can also happen when I am coasting down a hill then accelerate again. Feels like the transmission is trying to “catch up” to the wheels and clunks when the gears mesh. As far as the downshift goes this really annoys me. With 10 speeds there is no excuse for rough shifting, up or down.
What does the downshift feel like on a truck?
Feels like the transmission is trying to “catch up” to the wheels and clunks when the gears mesh. As far as the downshift goes this really annoys me. With 10 speeds there is no excuse for rough shifting, up or down. What I have found that works best is that the truck doesn’t like surprises.

What happens when downshift solenoid does not work?
If the downshift solenoid fails or has an issue, the vehicle may experience late shifting when slowing down. The transmission may stay engaged in a higher gear for an extended period of time when it should be downshifting. This will cause the engine to over rev, and may put additional unnecessary strain on the engine and transmission.
Why does my Jeep downshift at 1500 rpm?
The revs will then jump up to 12-1500 rpm as if the transmission was downshifting prematurely. Around 50 percent of the time the shift is not noticeable, the rest is a mix somewhat noticeable, to downright alarming. Fluids are fine, all up shifts are smooth as are downshifts under acceleration, and the problem is not temperature related.
When does a Jeep Cherokee downshift from 3-2 to 2-1?
The problem occurs when either coasting to a stop or braking coming to a stop. The transmission will downshift hard from 3-2 and sometimes 2-1 causing a small jerking of the jeep and occasionally a light clunk. The most noticeable is the 3-2 shift which happens around 20mph with the engine around 1000 rpm (under braking, not acceleration.)
Why do I get a thud when I downshift?
That joint is dry as a bone and amplifies the the aggressive shifting pattern that is “normal” for the 8 speeds. If you pay attention you’ll notice the “thud” happens most after a hard braking or coming to a stop when the drivetrain is loaded in the opposite direction. When you take off again to accelerate is when you typically feel it.
Why does my Jeep downshift when coming to a stop?
The vehicle is an 05 3.7 with 32,500 miles I have owned it for about a month and have had this issue since day one. The problem occurs when either coasting to a stop or braking coming to a stop. The transmission will downshift hard from 3-2 and sometimes 2-1 causing a small jerking of the jeep and occasionally a light clunk.
What happens if you downshift hard into first gear?
This kind of thing has happened before. The cable keeps the transmission from upshifting too soon if you are accelerating hard. When it’s stuck, it could cause delayed downshifting to first and it would make the eventual downshift seem violent. Also, what they said.
