for real! i had a friend whos tj was evidently just a 3spd auto (or he claimed) and his 1st gear was not low in the least bit, he FLEW down some hills he should not have even in 4 LO. My rubicon just crawled down.

 

Pretty interesting. This is my first jeep w/ manual, but my second manual 4x4 overall. Looking forward to tgis winter and give 4 hi a try. I especially lije how the jeep has a stick for 4 -wheel drive. My ranger had a push button... Which was okay but always made me feel weary about it.

Although this is my second manual tranny, i do stall and at times struggle woth it. I dont believe i am burning the clutch, but sometimes i roll of smooth and other times i get i high raise in rpm. If i ride the clutch, its maybe for a few seconds.

Do any of you think that burns on the clutch.

Also, my only other woory is problems jk folks have been having with the throw out bearing. I love manuals but have been second guessing after reading about folks and their bearing problems. Want to teach the wife with the jeep but now hesitant. After all i have read concerning clutch clicking noises and throwout bearings

 

Also please disregard spelling. Using small iTouch on jk mobile forum site. Just love the mobile site!
