You deffinitley have a problem with your specific Rubicon. If you can't spin your wheels, you have something drasticly wrong with either your tranny or engine. It sounds like it's not shifting down right or something. I can guarantee you if I'm in a mud hole hole trying to pull someone out, or in any other situation that requires plenty of torque, If something doesn't move, my wheels will be spinning.

 

Is the transmission essentially the same between the Rubicon and the Rincon, except the Rubicon has a low range too?

Hey ssphunter,

Put your Rubi in low in mud and other extreme terrian, and your wheels will keep turning. If in high (D1 or D2), well at least mine. will not turn either, but when i put it in low i can get through just about anything, I have never had to be pulled out of anything, nothing has stopped my RUBI.

No. The Rubicon is hydromechanical, continually variable by oil flow. It can be put in manual mode where it will mimic fixed gears. The Rincon is a three speed automatic transmission with a torque converter, very similar to a car's automatic transmission. It can run in automatic mode, or if you switch to manual mode you can control what gear it's in with the up and down buttons on the bar.

Having ridden a Rubicon, I'm sure it would spin the wheels on pavement if you chained it to something. There's something wrong with SSPHunter's...
