Wierd noise in Reverse.....

SoDakJeep · **Posted:** Wed Oct 01, 2008 9:57 pm

When I back out of my driveway a little faster then I should I get a shake/rattle/thump noise and the whole truck lurches...It doesnt do any of the above when I floor it in Drive but when I get on the gas a little in reverse it feels like something is going to break. Is this normal? hahaha

Are you flooring it in R? Could be the tires spinning?

Have you checked for little cars stuck in the hitch? Could be one of those gnats... I mean priuses. :lol:

hahahahahahaha checked the hitch no cars there haha :twisted:

no I am not flooring it just ease into it so I know its not the tires spinning. Wish I had the power to get the MTR's to spin haha. I'm not sure what exactly the problem is or exactly how to even explain it.

Mine Liberty did something similar to this years back when I was still under warranty. I took it in and they told me the pumpkin needs fluid and their were some metal shaving inside. They changed the gears filled her up with fluid and no problems since then.

Mine (05 auto) will do something like that uphill in reverse if I give it gas before it engages fully. There seems to be some lag between moving the selector to the 'R' position and the reverse engaging fully. If I get on the gas immediately after moving the lever into reverse, it will chatter and slip. If I wait until I feel it drop into reverse before giving it gas, it works smoothly.

Mine does the same thing every once in a while, but mine feels like reverse maybe geared to high. Either way mine is 03 with 80k miles on it and still reverses. I'm also a broke college student so if mine decides not to reverse, I guess I'll just find a way to always go forward. :lol:

my 05 kj did the exact same thing... i took it to the dealer and they had to "re-flash" the ecu... it was under warranty. they said that they had some programing problem. hasnt done it since.
