I have the clutch clank as well. See a poll I started in another thread. The clutch clank seems to be very common.

That being said, the 42RLE is a flaming peice of poop. So I'd take a squeeking, squealing, clanking 6 speed over the 42RLE any day. Now if the 45RFE were offered, that'd be a different story.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Well, wish me luck! The Jeep hunt will hopefully end tomorrow! We shall see.

Bought my 08 Sahara in January of 08 and no problems with the manual at all. From what I see and hear on this board though, even if there are problems with the manual, its still not as bad as the automatics that are known to catch on fire.

2008 Rubicon Unlimited 6 Speed
18500 km - picked up October 2007
I have a squeek now and then, but think it is the heat sheild as another member had and fixed by "adjusting" the sheild

Running great otherwise
