Can I downshift from 6th to 2nd?
Yes you can. However the only occurence I can think about is an emergency breaking where you had no time to downshift 5,4,3,2. Doing it normally means that you are not using the engine brake in 5th and you will end up in really high rev in 2nd (and you engine might not enjoy 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.
When does the 3-2 shift start in a jeep?
The most noticeable is the 3-2 shift which happens around 20mph with the engine around 1000 rpm (under braking, not acceleration.) 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.

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.

Why does my Jeep Wrangler not shift out of second gear?
On my vehicle specifically the O2 sensor codes are coming on and the vehicle will randomly not shift out of second gear which presents itself as a safety hazard when entering high speed freeways and interstates. The O2 sensors were replaced new with oem parts and the codes did not go away.
