Are 4.11 gears (Rubicon) and 33" tires (285/75/16) a no-soup combination? Because I'm eager to drink the fuck out of this Kool-Aid. lol
Nope, minimum is 4.88 and 5.13 would be better.

I'm going to make him get a list of mods first. If it isn't regeared properly for the tire size, no soup for you.
Alright, update on my situation. Reputable transmission shop said they fixed the wiring on my output shaft speed sensor and the bill is going to be $395 ; A wire was grounding. After I paid a previous shop $375 to replace it. They said it's all good and working. So, I'm going to go pick it up now and see. I'm not holding my breath. Anxious to drive it home with the new PCM after getting teased by it the other day.
In the meantime, Mark had already sent me a return label for the PCM and shipped me another one today I guess thinking it might have been a faulty unit. Which I probably won't need.
If you want to talk about customer service. Wranglerfix = 5 stars.

Negative.
Alright then, how did that harness short to ground? The only time we ever see that is when someone adds a plug and play device and then route it up the right side too close to the exhaust. The rest of the time that harness is well routed and secure so it never has an issue. Did they show you what was messed up?
Shop #1 was in there and replaced the output speed sensor. Quoting their bill "diagnose and repair wiring connector issue and replace transmission output speed sensor" $62 part. This isn't a transmission shop. Only a regular mechanic shop that works on a LOT of wranglers in Tucson and is highly recommended by a vast majority of the Tucson Jeep club.
After doing whatever they did I paid the bill and drove the Jeep home 25 miles and it seemed fixed. The next day it started shifting weird again and hard shifted and stuck in 2nd like before like the shop never did anything to it. So, I brought it back for them to look at it again. They had it another couple days and couldn't ultimately fix the problem and recommended me take it to a dedicated transmission shop (ex: shop #2).
Shop #2 is a highly reputable dedicated transmission shop that was recommended by Shop #1 as well as others who has had wrangler TJ trans work done by them. They test drove it, scanned it, diagnosed it, said output speed sensor was not registering. On their bill, "Electrical check - repaired output speed sensor wire". The guy said a wire was grounding. I didn't get into further detail. Was pissed off it cost another $395 so I paid the bill and the Jeep drove home, and around in the evening, and this morning like its fixed.
Next course of action is to go back to shop #1 and see how much money I can get back.
All that said I have not put eyes on the sensor or anywhere either shop worked on yet.

my jeep is currently on limp mode, the autoelectric shop said that everything was in perfect shape, I already installed the wranglerfix PCM but that didn't fix the problem... right now I'm waiting for the mopar solenoid pack to arrive (should be arriving tomorrow) to take the jeep back to the shop on monday... I hope that is the ultimate fix for my no-speed mode in my jeep.... because it is driving me crazy x_x
Subscribed. This is what I thought was wrong with my Jeep. Will be interested in the cost to do this.
This is easy to determine. It's the cost of the eBay part + the cost for Eddie's shop to install it.
Well he just charged me $400 to fix a wire.

that won't be fair... I live in Mexico so the rates are pretty different... but the PCM from wranglerfix was 650 bucks, the solenoid pack was 80 bucks (I got a remanufactured Mopar one with lifetime guarantee from Ebay) and the tranny fluid and filter were 100 bucks.. the autoelectric shop charged me around 30 bucks (in pesos obviously) since he didn't "repair" anything... and the tranny shop will charge me around 80 bucks (I'm just guessing)... so the final cost (if the solenoid pack solves the problem) would around 950/1000 bucks..... with new PCM and solenoid block..
