I have 3k on mine & still having issuesI had these symptoms under 1k miles or so.
Pretty much 100% resolved by 1500 miles. I would wait until at least then before having someone tear into your trans and replacing things.
I’m glad it got resolved for you on its own Jim, but I have about 3k miles and the issue is not going away.I had these symptoms under 1k miles or so.

Yes, and I just happened to jump in here looking to see if anyone else has experienced the same.My Grand Cherokee L has 2900 miles and it shifts very weird around 10 to 20 mph. It’s almost as if the transmission was slipping. I will be taking into dealership tomorrow. Hopefully it’s just low on transmission fluid or a software update, but I don’t know. It’s frustrating. If i accelerate fast you can’t really tell, but from a dead stop and accelerating slowly once it hits 10 to 20mph it shakes almost as if it was going to stall. After that speed it drives fine. Has anyone experienced this with any other Jeeps? I traded in my Jeep Cherokee and never had any problems with that one.

Moreover, if this is something that’s normal and goes away as part of transmission break-in period or process, then I feel like Jeep should be listing it in the owners manual for customers to know what to expect
Any idea if that will be by request or will be a service recall?
Mine does it all the time, transmission temp doesn’t matter. Mine also has an audible click when it downshifts from 2nd to 1st every time. But dealer “couldn’t duplicate” 🙄. I have to take it in for first oil change next week, and tell them to try again.I am test driving two GCLs tomorrow. If I want to try to replicate this issue (to see if those particular vehicles have the strange shifting issue), is my best bet to (1) drive around for a bit to get the transmission warmed up, then (2) slow down to a stop, and then (3) accelerate from first to third gear & see if the vehicle lurches, clicks, or otherwise behaves strangely? Is there something else I should do to try to replicate the issue? Also, where does the GCL display the transmission temp -- main gauge cluster?
Thanks much.
So they were able to replicate all issues. Service tech said “transmission is still learning.” I have over 5200 miles on the odometer. Said the click sound was “normal”. As it is the active 4wd actuator. And the shuddering in reverse is the “active hill assist system”. This occurs in my flat driveway and flat parking lot at the office.Took Jeep in for oil change and the shifting and clicking at downshifts again. I’m sure it “cannot be duplicated” again. Will keep y’all posted
On uneven terrain jeep was struggling to reverse uphill seemed lil lack of power was concerning in moment had to abort attempt as was unsettling and seemed like was struggling w 1 tire spinning could've been jus tires struggling. V6 4x2 limited. Monitoring this thread have over 6k miles on mine haven't noticed anything particularly unsettling in drive mode but in sport it does seem to have irregular high rpm when decelerating abruptly at times esp from 2 to 1st think takes while to downshift. Could jus be breaking in suppose seems to be handling better now, broke engine in on long cross country trip.Any one having issues on occasion where it shudders, or struggles in reverse? Mine has done it a couple of times in the past two weeks.
I have a GCL Limited with about 900 miles and I think I have pretty much the same thing going on. As you mention it is hard to describe. The acceleration seems ok, but it does feel like a manual downshift when I am at lower speeds. I have been thinking when the downshift happens it enters the lower number gear at two high an RPM. I have been debating on taking it to the dealer, but have been monitoring it trying to figure out how to be describe it to them.Anyone have issues with noticeable downshifts, especially in the middle gears such as 6 to 5 or 5 to 4? I have about 500 miles on my JGC L and don't have the shudder issues on the upshifts (thankfully, but knocking on wood). Mine has fairly noticeable downshifts as if I I am manually downshifting, hard to describe, but the shifts from 6 to 5 and 5 to 4 are fairly noticeable especially when decelerating from 45-50 mph for a traffic light, etc. when compared to barely noticeable downshifts across the other other gears in the 8 speed. Thinking it could be valve body issues acting up or perhaps a solenoid not firing right.
Yeah, this sounds like the exact same thing to what I am experiencing. I'm holding off on taking to the dealer right now given low mileage in the hope that it resolves after a few more miles and/or an update comes out soon that can be applied. Your description makes perfect sense to me though.I have a GCL Limited with about 900 miles and I think I have pretty much the same thing going on. As you mention it is hard to describe.
