? dont the auto's have to use the brakes more... or can they "engine brake" on steep down hills, like the sticks do...?
i'm thinking NOT.... but you auto guys can tell me.
i know the stick will creep down steep inclines in low gear, with NO brakes used... even with the 3.21's.

This can be done manually, too:
Turn off overdrive;
Move lever from "D" to "2";
Move lever from "2" to "1";
Any of these actions, done at the appropriate time, will give good engine braking with an automatic (especially in 4low).

Manual Trans, I bought my Jeep the afternoon it came of the truck at the dealership. Test Drove it before it was cleaned up. They tried to get me in a 2wd with an Auto, but I wasnt buying that. The salesman said his father in law was going to come look at it. When we closed the deal he said " money talks, my father in law is going to have to wait"

I agree with a Jeep is just not a jeep without a Stick 
I picked up a 6spd yesterday and love it. I have owned 2 different CJ's through the years and the JK has one of the smoothest, easiest clutches I have ever used!!!! I could maybe see if I had to sit in traffic or drove in a congested city everyday, but its much more fun with a Manual....
