Trans jerk

[12vrunner]

Just curious on the 2016 reg cab hemi 8 speed that has a transmission jerk. I only notice it in bumper to bumper traffic coming to first gear and taking off in first gear it will do a pretty good jerk. I also read there was a tsb on the transmission or someting like that. Does anyone else know what im talking about and if so is it just a ecu retune ordeal. Let me know thanks.

Hi 12vrunner,

I believe this is the TSB you are referring to:

"NUMBER: 21-017-16 REV. A
GROUP: Transmission and
Transfer Case
DATE: July 30, 2016

SUBJECT:
Flash: Transmission Shift And Drivability Enhancements

SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
Some customers may experience a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination. Upon further investigation, a technician may find the following Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) stored in the TCM memory:
• P0731 - Gear Ratio Error In 1st."

Your local dealership will be able to identify if this TSB applies to your vehicle and assist you further. Let me know if you have any additional questions!
