Dumb question

liljohn850 · Sep 12, 2014

So here's a stupid question... My 10a has an auto transmission... But I can select the gears as I wish like a standard. My question is, once I have selected the gear I want for the time being, how the Ef do I just go back into drive?! I swear. This jeep is too damn fancy!!

Hold the shift lever either left or right. I think is what your after. I hardly ever use that feature

^^THIS^^ It's a stupid feature and they need to just get rid of it not only on Jeeps but other cars also

Just hold the shifter to the right for a second or two and it will switch back to auto...

Jesus. Thank you all. Haha. I drive with my hand on the shifter... And with the new 3.6 I find myself turning faster and keep slipping into the Manu-matic crap. I got tired if going to neutral then to drive at a stop very quickly.

lol I rented a car that had this feature and I too drive with my hand on the shifter, took a few down shift/hi rev moments to figure out what the hell was happening.... :beer:

I did the same thing too! I went from a manual to a auto and it drove me crazy.... I was and still do keep my hand on the shift handle and going into auto-manual.....:doh: But I like the auto much better......

I found this out too, after mysteriously finding myself in 1st gear.

It's a great feature when offroad.

It can definitely be helpful when off road but I never use it otherwise. It would be a lot more helpful if it would actually stay in the gear you selected.

What's an auto trans?

Cheating. And on the rocks, they are superior to a manual and this is coming from a guy who loves manuals.

I haven't had the pleasure to drive an auto jeep but I'm sure they have to be better in the rocks. Hopefully with the new gears I won't stall as much

Hey John, we have to swap rigs on the trail when you get to WA so I can try the auto. Maybe this isn't my last jeep purchase -_-

Just put yours in 4lo and first

let it go. Lol.

You're the one that loves a manual... And I'll pull that bitch card every hour I waste in traffic! And the tranny doesn't sound like it's going to fall out from under my jeep!! That's a perk!

I'll try the manumatic bs when I hit the trail. If it actually stays in first I'll chalk it up as a perk. Until then I have to find another place to keep my right hand

It will keep your transmission in 1st gear or whatever other gear you want. I've found it extremely helpful and it took me about 4 hours into my first trail with the new jeep to remember the feature. Also was extremely helpful down a steep grade when my brakes were already overheating.

Sometimes. Ive found the auto still kicks in more than the manu matic because rhe CPU thinks it knows better. I prefer my 6 spd but I will say am auto on the rocks IS much nicer
