Hey guys whats up I'm in the market for a new rubicon and not sure which transmission to get. I think I read on here that the automatic has the numerically lower final gear so does that mean that the auto gets better mileage? Also I commute into Houston and the idea of a standard doesn't bother me. Which trans would you reccomend and for what reason?

 

Not sure if this is the kind of info you are looking for or not.

Thanks alot, didnt exactly help me decide but i'll figure it out

 

Typically the auto's get worse mileage than manual. If you're not doing a lot of stop and go, then I wouldn't see any reason to hate manual tranny for commute. I prefer the control of a manual tranny which is why I have it, but sometimes I wouldn't mind the auto. If you're not sure, I'd recommend the auto.

 

It is mostly a personal prefrence. Most people prefer the auto, just because it is easier for a daily driver, especially around town, and takes less thought. But ultimately it all boins down to personal prefrence, as each has advantages, and disadvantages.
