Default 2013 Delay?

Is it me or does it feel like my 2013 stock jk kinda hesitates to shift? It's like sometimes it's debating on what it wants to do haha any input is greatly appreciated

I feel like the 2012 does the same, but that is only when I am not really pushing it and it is in ECO mode (which makes perfect sense to me). When I really get on it, there isn't much hesitation outside of what is normal for an auto trans.

Also, when you turn the key to start there is a hesitation.

Does the Eco light only work for Automatics? I have a manual and have never seen that light on.

Yes, the 6 spd has it. I see the Eco light in mine often as long as I'm cruising and not accelerating and in the green band on the tach.

I figure mine is going to get the mileage it's going to get, so I turned the ECO indicator off so that it shows the radio station instead. I find it much more useful.

The ECO light is on by default when the vehicle is new. Most people hate that stupid light and turn it off (like I did). When you turn it off that area of the EVIC then displays radio information instead of the ECO message.
