I have no idea. It was/is a problem for the JT from the get go. Kept me from getting a manual transmission.
None of their patches have worked yet......Jeep will have a repair in about 3 weeks or is it 3 months, there's a 3 in it
Not having owned any prior iteration before, I can't make any comparison. I know when I decided to purchase I wanted something different. My first vehicle was a 4sp 4cyl Ranger, so partly for nostalgia sake, and again nobody seems to drive them anymore. I don't know how they operate on a different gear set, like the Rubicon, but that was out of my budget at the time, and anything used had more miles than I cared to go in on. Thus on a Sport I can say how they have it setup is head scratching to say the least. 6th gear is there only for EPA sakes, it has nothing to it, even on the stock setup. I've since thrown on wheels and tires, and it really just collects dust now. Fifth gear was marginally better, and occasionally gets some use on semi flat interstate driving over 72mph. Basically after upgrading it's primarily a 4spd. Debatable with the Dana 30/35 whether regearing and adding an air locker is worth doing. Interest rates where they are now versus a short time ago, I'd take a bath upgrading at this point, so I enjoy puttering around to the mall and back and call it good.
Agreed!
Don't worry, I'm with you on manual transmissions.
I bought a manual because I don't have a need to be like everyone else. Its called.....to each, their own.
There are a lot of people with nicknames, or are reported to be a lot of things that don’t live up to the hype. You Sir however exceed them, and I’m here for it. Well done.
