Using the auto stick (lack of a better term) and the Hill Desent Control going down steep hills and ledges works quite well....

I love this in my 13, my only complaint is it will shift down for you as well. So if you stop at a light after having it in manual mode say from 4th it will go down to 1st, i think its just that i forget untill my jeep hits about 4,000RPMs lol.

Aside from revving too high are there any drawbacks to driving the jeep in the semi auto mode like that?

I hated this too at first but now that I am used to it I no longer forget to upshift. Very first time was with about 120 miles on the jeep entering traffic from stopped not realizing it was not going to upshift for me. Nothing like hitting about 4500 rpms on a new engine.

When you want to pass on the highway- floor it then drop a gear.
When you want to accelerate in a turn -drop a gear.

This tech came from Formula 1 racing. The kind of races where the chassis is stressed to its limits: acceleration; braking; both left & right cornering. The only races where NASCAR is a true race is at venues like Sears Point. My opinion.

If Jeep ever places steering wheel paddle shifters instead of a floor mounted auto-stick, then Jeep has lost its way. Thankfully I highly doubt Jeep and the Skunkworks will ever do that.

So using this does not mess around with your transmission at all? Just off the gas and up shift?

Don't even have to modulate the pedal. Just keep the foot in it and flick away. Within reason of course. Don't redline and drop two gears. The computer will cancel your input to save its life.

Hey all. Not to dig up a old, dead thread, but somebody asked the question about disabling this function, but I don't think anyone answered if it was possible or not. I have had multiple situations where my kids have bumped the shift while driving, which makes things very exciting, bc pulling towards the driver puts it in 1st. I would love nothing more than to be able to find a way to disable this temporarily, and be able to re-enable it when need ed.
