He kept trying to convince me to get a automatic and telling me nobody drives manual keeps anymore wtf!! I simply said no thank you and went to another dealership that had more manual jeep selection. Note the first dealership was an actual jeep dealership. The dealership where I bought my jeep has other trucks/suv/jeeps.

I was surprised as a first time buyer that there's more automatic jeeps out there than manuals. Anyone think jeep wants to stop making manual trans available for the Jeep Wrangler?
My local Jeep dealership only stocks automatics, Sport S's, Saharas, and Rubicons. I went 250 miles to a dealership that stocked the exact options I wanted on a sport in just about every color. They gave me a much better deal without having to try too. Made my first new vehicle purchase a breeze. 3.73's, hard top, limited slip diff, and commando green. I get the convenience of auto windows and door locks, but a Jeep is meant to be topless and doorless during the summer anyway...

My JKU 2012, my only choice was a 6 speed manual. I've enjoyed ever single mile of her, 42,000 miles.

Yeah, it's gotten less noticeable with a little better clutch control though. Maybe 1/4 starts is flawless but most have a tiny bit of that

No reduction in noise but I like those Drake replacements a lot better than the stock "Faberge eggs."
