stealitall Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Ok this is weird . So I'm doing about 30-40 MPH and I make a left hand turn and hit some small pot holes and then a small incline as this happens my Transmission seems to downshift and wont up-shift till 5grand but if I miss all the pot holes it will not happen?????

RIPjeep2002 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Transmission is under load, so it will downshift to a lower load bearing gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebigevilfoot Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Are you sure it's the the pot holes and not the incline? Shiftronic > Full time auto... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 But why does it happen only when I hit pot holes.. Because the wheels are being loaded when you hit the holes, especially at various degrees, the transmission feels it and downshifts to decrease the load.

OBieXT Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 It could be that the pot holes fool the yaw sensor into thinking you're taking a much sharper corner. That would cause the trans to downshift/hold in gear to higher RPMs because it thinks you are driving through the twisties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
