Accelerating uphill, successive slight jerks.
Only when accelerating uphill, there are successive slight jerks.
Almost like something is skipping or slipping.
RPMs don't go down. Car doesn't stall or anything.
Only happens going uphill. Same acceleration on flat ground is fine.
Car runs great, only this slight jerking up hills

bimmer try this. may or may not be the fix but guess what. free And no tools needed. just let us know if you did it already.
1) park jeep
2) turn jeep off
3) open hood
4) locate TV cable on TB
5) Depress grey button and push plunger in all the way
6) let grey button go
7) go in jeep and press accelerator a the way down
8) you should hear clicking from the TV cable adjuster
whAt youre describing may be the jeep wanting to shift but since its out of adjustment it feels jerky. and please dont say anything else until you try that and drive for a month please and thank you.
