Questions About 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Jeep's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Jeep Wrangler JK? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Wrangler JK towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my Wrangler JK's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Jeep Wrangler JK transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Jeep's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Jeep Wrangler JK? Yes. Jeep Wrangler JK transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
