2000 Jeep down-grade driving
I have an automatic 3 speed transmission in my 2000 jeep wrangler (4.0) .
When driving down-hill it seems to speed up even when the grade is not
changing. My 99 Mountaineer holds back better in first gear than my jeep.
I had it diagnosed, but nothing showed up as being a problem. Has anyone
else had this problem, and is there something I can do about it, other than
chaning the transmission.
Thank you,
Bryan R

Re: 2000 Jeep down-grade driving
It's a part of your computer fuel efficiency program to bypass your
throttle plate on quick deceleration for a couple of seconds. If you
have a Highway Patrol on your tail, pull her down a gear to avoid
letting him know you both know you're speeding by hitting your brakes.

Re: 2000 Jeep down-grade driving
I have the same transmission in my '99, and it seems to SLOW DOWN when
going down most hills. It's bizarre. I think that may be partly why it
gets such crappy mileage. I haven't heard of one running faster like
that, though.
