You are not alone in that perception. My Rubi will easily do 30 mph in reverse. WHY??? What possible reason could anyone have to drive that fast in reverse? Reverse should be a creeper gear so I DON'T have to slip the clutch - or have to shift into low range!I am not in a position to speak for the crowd but my perception is that a commonly suggested improvement for the manual transmission is that the reverse gear could be shorter. I could be falsely concluding this but those comments seem to come disproportionately from non-Rubicon owners. As a Rubicon owner I also think that the reverse could be slower but it is tolerable and not unlike any other manual I have ever driven... basically it can require extra feathering of clutch relative to say 1st gear, especially when reversing up hills.
