Alright, I've been waiting for a while to get around to asking about this but I'll ask now.
This only happens when I'm going down the highway and it's happened about 25 times in the last 2k to 3k miles.
I'll be going say 65 to 70mph and I'll press down the accelerator but not enough to downshift. The jeep starts to accelerate slowly and then the speedometer reading shoots up to about 85mph then quickly back down to about 55 and then back up to the speed that I am going.
during this happening the check engine light comes on, and there is a jolt that seems like the drivetrain is quickly locking up then returning to normal with the check engine light going back off.
I did a PORC SYE on my jeep, had some leakage, re-did the seals about a week later and then this started happening. It never happened before I re-did the seals.
I checked the speedo gear and none of the teeth seemed to be ripped off or anything, it seemed just as it did before I did the SYE.
Also, when I re-did the seals I inspected the main output shaft to make sure nothing was wrong with it, and I found this little indention sort of thing near what seems to be a grease hole. This is located on the front end of the shaft.
