Default Ordered a 2014 Rubicon with manual transmission - 4.10s or not???

Ordered a 2014 Rubicon with manual trans back on 8/19. At that time, everything I read listed the 2014/manual transmission as standard with 4.10s.

Presently, if you go in the Jeep website in the "build section" it lists 3.73 as the only option with manual transmission???

Anyone have confirmation as to what is correct? Would a 2014 Rubi (manual trans) come with 3.73s or 4.10s???

Has anyone received a 2014 manual Rubicon and if so, what gears came with your Jeep?

I tried calling Jeep, but the customer service rep was unable to give me an answer.


Thanks in advance and I apologize if this isn't in the proper section of the forum.

4:10's were standard on 2013 Rubicons with manuals and optional on Autos. This is what my 13 Rubi manual trans came with standard. I would assume 2014 would be the same but I would definitely check you want them!

I just checked out the website too and it won't even let you select 4:10 and manual trans, Shows only available with auto trans. They just put up the 2014 's on the website this week so may be a glitch. Check your paperwork to see what it says and follow up with Jeep.

I'm REALLY hoping it's just a glitch. It's too soon (according to the Jeep rep) to check the buildsheet, or I would.

Default 4.10s

i have same problem. When we ordered mine it wouldn't let me select 4.10s unless i switched to an automatic.

I have my dealer tracking this down too with their Chrysler rep; but my build sheet, the website and the dealer ordering program all say 3.73. The only place I've seen 4.10 and manual transmission listed is in 2014 owners manual on page 92.

I did read that the Moab edition comes with manual and 4.10s, so not sure why we can't get them either; especially since it's been offered in previous years.

I was just looking @ my 2013 JKU Rubicon's window sticker and it appears that the 4.10's are optional equipment.. They were a $195 add on to my automatic transmission Rubi 10A.. I would have thought they'd come standard!! Go figure....

Just confirmed that dealer in my area has 2014 Rubi w/ manual transmisson with 4.10s sitting on the lot, so it's possible.
I'm still awaiting to hear back from the dealer where i purchased if mine with come equiped with 4.10s.
I'd gladly pay the $200 extra not to have 3.73s.

4:10's should only be an option on the Automatic Rubicons the manuals should come standard with 4:10 unless they changed it to get better mileage figures for the lineup.

I just checked Jeep's "build and price" and manual rubicon only comes with 4.10 now. To get the 3.73 you have to get an auto.
