13 JKU Annoying Shift pattern
 
Was wondering if anyone else with a 13 JK has this annoying shift pattern as mine. It's shifts to 4th gear way to fast. From 0-25mph I'm already in 4th gear. I'm usually stuck behind grandmas so I can't be my normal lead foot. So when I'm doing super slow take offs I end up in 3rd by 15mph and 4th by 25. It's super annoying because then the Jeeps bogged down at low speeds. Dealer said the dreaded "this is normal". I have a Flashpaq thinking it would let me change shift points. But I don't have that option. They must not support on the 13s?

Do you have stock tire sizes? If not stock, maybe the Jeep is confused about when to shift.

Yes. Everything is bone stock.

I don't believe any of the programmers on the market will adjust shift points in the auto tranny.

Not anymore. For The older Flashpaq you could have purchased an option to change shift points. But like everything else, it only took a few people to dink around with it and claim the Flashpaq screwed up their transmission. Option gone!

For the OP try a different tune, like the tow tune, or 91 performance. These tunes slightly change the shift times.

Thanks for the replies! They emailed me back. They claim they are working on another change your own shift schedule for the Wranglers. We shall see! I have the 93 Octane installed. I may try a few of the other tunes to see what it gets me.
