I have been attempting to get the current gear to show for my 2015 jeep Cherokee trailhawk. It has the zf9 speed transmission so I can’t set shift points. They shift all over the place. I have attemepted to do a custom pid but it doesn’t show the correct gear. Only -1. I can assume I’m not using the correct header. I tried the fiat add on and the racing meter add on but cant seem to get anything. I didnt see am actual jeep add on. Any help is greatly appreciated.

shoot, I was hoping it would be easier. I don’t know how any equation will work with this transmission. 3rd gear ranges from 3mph to about 65mph. But at 15 mph it could also be in 7th. its so wonky. In 20,000 miles i have seen 9th twice and that was down hill doing about 85mph. Thanks for the help though

The equation calculates gear ratio from
RPM and Vehicle Speed. That ratio should
be unique for each gear. You would need
to adjust variables to match your vehicle
though.

Pardon my lack of understanding your
vehicle… does your zf9 transmission serve as
both transmission and transfer case which
my 4×4 vehicles use? (Low Range/High Range).

Its not clear to me how 3rd gear could cover
such a wide speed range.
