AutoStick randomly doesn't work
I have a 2013 JKU with auto trans. For years I've been using the AutoStick feature in circumstances that I want to be in control of what gear I'm in or make better decisions than the shitty automatic transmission shift points.
Recently it only seems to work whenever it feels like it which has left me in a few circumstances where I'm at a point where I need to shift and cannot unless I keep trying over and over until it finally changes gear.
For example. I'll be in first gear and don't want it to shift into second at lower speeds so I'll enable AutoStick, but once I start getting up there i'll want to change to second gear but it refuses to go when I want it to which is causing long periods of high RPM's, a situation I really don't want to keep happening.
Does anyone know what the setup is with these? Are there contact points that may need to be cleaned perhaps? or other known electronic issue that anyone is aware of?
Would love to resolve this.
