i am used to driving a stick and i love it. i noticed there are not that many stick jks on the lots though. i was wondering what some of you guys had and why you chose that?

 

I have a manual, for me it wasn't even a choice it makes driving so much more fun and interactive to me....I like the control off road and lots of friends don't ask me to drive it cause so many of them can't!

 

i am looking to buy a jk. i am used to driving manual and i like it but i noticed there werent many manuals on the dealer lots, almost all auto. i was wondering what you guys were driving and what the reason for that choice was?

 

The Auto is a 4 speed which is pretty crappy in my opinion.
I love my 6 speed.

 

no no again for me is auto all the way.

 

...of course you never hear of a 6-speed overheating!!!

 

I think it depends on where you live, who will be driving it, how will they be driving it and what mod's do you have planned?

There is a lot of traffic where I live and manuals in stop and go traffic suck. Will your's be a DD or a just-for-fun JK? If you plan on bigger tires, etc, you'll get by a little longer without having to re-gear with the 6 speed. But, the big factor in my case was I wanted an auto in case my wife needs to use it. Her with a 6 speed would be scary!

 

"stick or manual"???

Isn't it the same?

Sorry, man.

 

Been over 10 years since I had something wtih an auto. I prefer rowing my own gears. Clutch in the JK is super light, so not an issue in traffic.

 

6 speed all the way. auto is just so................well, boring. im in stop and go traffic all day back and forth from work and school. no problems with the 6 speed.
