I'd guess and most Wranglers are autos, but there are more enthusiasts who have manuals and actually come to a JK forum like this one (mall crawlers with autos don't come here to vote)

I have a manual because it doesn't feel like I am actually driving if I can't shift the gears myself. However, I know I am just being macho and an auto can be much better in many off-road situations.

I like the lower crawl ratio I get with the 6 speed since I don't have the Rubi's 4:1 transfer case.

I love my slush box!

I'm to old for a manual gearbox. Just ask the guys I wheel with.

My Rubi works great with the hydro-slide and I don't even get to the mall cuz we don't have one just lots of desert to crawl through. Stick seems like to much work since I retired a few years back. I had nothing but manual trans in the road race days but different times and purpose.
