My question is, do the 2008 6 speeds share the same problems as the 2007 6 speeds? Those problems ( that I had) were mainly related to a squeek/squealing sound from the tranny. Which was ultimately a very damaging thing going on inside my 07 Rubi. Now I'm hunting Jeeps again after getting rid of that one, and I'm finding mainly 6 speeds around here (as far as X package with Locker/sway bar).

So will be yet another mistake to buy a 6 speed? Or should I be on the lookout for an automatic trans?

Thanks in advance.

FWIW I have an 08 6 speed with 5,500 miles.

zero drive train issues; other than the common clutch clank, and I've lived with it. It's really not that bad.

No problems at 3100 miles.

The 2008s built thru the end of February (which is 4 months shy of the whole production year) are exactly the same as the 07s. Many have problems.

hmmm...I have the '07, a late build in that year too and I've never had any issues at all, no clank, squeal, clunk nothing....

08 X 6 speed with almost 6,000 miles no problems so far ...but I have heard the rumors from others about 6 speeds as well as automatics....a friend of mine says it's cause of the engine swap they did to the 3.8 ...good luck
