I was thinking that also TC- but wouldn't there be other signs like chattering at speed or something else?

 

I'm no auto trans guru. There could be other signs or not. I had this happen to me and it was the Torque Converter...when I rebuilt my auto trans at 95K miles I went with an ATS torque converter. The first one they sent me had a defect and when it started to go bad, the jeep would stall out when I shifted into drive/Reverse

 

Google 2013 Wrangler transmission problem

Very common and yes sounds like your torque converter which according to my search has been failing on these JK's

 

Good info right there, thank you!

Thabks Chad. I tried a google search and found people with auto issues, but nothing that sounded like mine. Would you have a link I could read?

Appreciate everyone's input!

 

I know this is a fairly old thread but I was hoping to hear what you found out with this issue. Mine started doing this a few months ago and is exactly as you described. I have a 2012 auto with around 50k miles. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
