which tranny will you be going with? I'm torn for the comfort of an auto vs the fun of a 6spd.

 

I almost ordered a JK with an auto but after test driving one and after much consideration, I decided to go 6-speed.

 

Jeeps and Slushboxes sound like an abomination to me. Then again, 6 speeds? What they really need is 4 speeds and an overdrive unit. (^_^) And twin stick transfer cases! Yea, four levers on the floor, NOW THATS A JEEP!

 

I wish I ordered mine qith the manual but my wife won't agree. Always do what your wife tells you!!! So...

 

don't fret, the autos are actually really great on the trail - at least you won't be burning out any clutches or stalling at the wrong time

 

I second way of life here. Torque converter is better at absorbing short term abuse than clutch. Two things pushed me towards the auto this time. Sixth gear just seemed a waste, plus the stick I test drove was very resistant to going back into first.

 

6 speed is gonna way too much fun to turn it down!

 

I'll probably end up with the standard, just because it's a hoot to drive. Both have their plusses and minuses.

 

We've got a 5 speed in the CJ and an auto in the Rubi and all things being equal, on the trails and rocks, I'll take the automatic !! JMHO

 

Just like my old Rubi, its all mine. I don't have to take the van to work, yessss.
