Default No 6 speeds now with 4wd?

Well the dealer got their allocations for the week and they can order me a Sahara 4 door....but can not order a 4wd with a 6 speed?
They can only order a 4wd with the auto. :confused: Anyone else have information on this?

They have been straight up with me up to now so I have no reason to doubt them.:sad:

I ordered my Sahara unlimited on 1/27 with a 6 speed 4x4 without issue. Did they say when this started?

Just did a quick search through the local dealerships inventories online. I found 21 Saharas, all 21 were automatics. If they are making a Sahara with a 6 speed manual, I sure can't find one.

It is a weekly thing. Last 2 weeks the hard tops were on restriction, now they are ok on hard tops but the 6 speed made the list. It is only a matter of time. I keep telling myself that the longer I wait the better it will be since they are still in the learning curve.

The dealer gets his allocations at 11:00 CST. (Fact) This is after the plant has their early morning production schedule meetings. (guess)

I ordered a Sahara 6sp 4x4 that just came in. It is a 2 door, I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. Just thought you might like to know.

If I could find a Silver Sahara or comparable X with only a hard top side airbags and a 6 speed with 3:21 I would be golden
