Yeah, a warranty isn’t worth much if the place isn’t around in a year or two.
If I’m looking at the correct PCM, mine would be $563 at FS1 with a lifetime warranty. They had some that were $800-something but they weren’t my part number.
FS1’s site does say they have been in the business over a decade.
It is interesting to see most members with the new fix have under 50 posts each...Could it be just a coincidence?

Check for error codes before you buy. You’ll need a scanner that reads transmission codes. If you see P0218 or P0714, the PCM needs to be replaced.I know I've just joined, am potentially purchasing an 05 wrangler with an auto trans, and am wary about this PCM issue surfacing in the Jeep...
After closely following the reports on Flagship and Wrangler Fix, I’ve decided to go with the Flagship product. There seems to be much more substance behind them and proven sustained performance of their product. I’m just not sold on Wrangler Fix’s claims of a re-engineered PCM. My Flagship PCM will sit on the shelf as a backup.
EDIT: I was a bit surprised that Flagship would not give me any credit for sending in a core. I would have thought they need to keep their supply coming in so they have units to sell.
Just ordered one for my 2006 LJ that's my DD (with just over 100k miles) that just had it's PCM die (ironically without any shift issues so far!). Once I get it installed and in I'll report back, and try to provide mileage updates. I commute about 50mi roundtrip each day so I'll rack up miles on her quickly (in the lovely Florida heat to boot!).
The WranglerFix one - I had debated the FS1 PCM as well (the warranty and longevity of company were tempting) but I was swayed by the thought's of a having something new versus the reused PCMs that seem to re-fail eventually (though some have had good luck with them). I'm hoping this is the fix we've needed all along as my previous TJ had the shifting issue badly and I'm hoping to keep the LJ from ever getting it!Which PCM did you get?
