2020+: ZF 8HP75 8-speed automatic (3.6L Pentastar V6 and 3.0L EcoDiesel)
Manual: Tremec TR3650-derived 6-speed (3.6L only)

Known Jeep Gladiator Transmission Problems

  • 8HP75 (3.6L gas): Same ZF solenoid wear as Wrangler JL β€” develops at 80–100k miles
  • 8HP75 (EcoDiesel): Higher torque stress on the transmission β€” TCC and valve body wear develops earlier in towing applications
  • The Gladiator is new enough that long-term failure patterns are still being established

Warning Signs β€” When to Bring It In

  • Harsh shifts β€” ZF 8HP solenoid
  • TCC shudder pulling trailer
  • Hunting between gears in traffic
  • Clunk on engagement
