That’s right you said it was a time consuming job.
Glad it’s working.

Thank you for the advice! I am definitely exploring all the options while this gets all sorted out. I can't wait to get back into a jeep.Jess, Ignore the one absurd (insulting) comment on this thread.
I'm happy that you and your dogs are safe. Quite frankly, my last four Jeeps prior to the JL were versions of the JK, and other than the fly by wire delay, which created obvious issues with the manual when moving from a dead stop, my opinion is that they were engineered much better than the JL model. If this were me, I'd drop back a couple of years and pick up a loaded Rubicon, with the stick, as a replacement. They did have a bushing on the shifter which "might" fail. Mine never did, but it was replaced along the way. The steering was much better than JL's, that's for sure. Good luck with whatever you decide.
I was thinking a service writer at a dealership. Sounds like a canned response from one of them.Do you work for Stellantis legal? Sorry had to ask.
Looks like Jeep went cheap on the floating plate and used cast iron?This poor girl, she was probably terrified. When it happened to my jeep my cousin was driving I was not there. She was driving On interstate 40 through Tennessee she said before she even had a chance to say do you smell that there was an explosion and she pulled off period pieces of my vehicle flew into The woods and my family being responsible attempted to put the fire out
This is a great idea. Media exposure might be the only way to get the giants attention. Surely there’s enough of these exploding clutch incidents out there to get their attention.Has anyone reach out to 60 minutes?
I know that 60 minutes has a contact email for their news desk. I would send them photos and everything that can be dug up on all the fires and send to them.This is a great idea.

Not going to derail your thread, but if I've learned anything in the last 2 years it's that the media is not our friend. Mainstream journalism is dead. You would turn more heads on Tik Tok.This is a great idea. Media exposure might be the only way to get the giants attention.

That’s very true. It’s lost it’s integrity. Shame.Not going to derail your thread, but if I've learned anything in the last 2 years it's that the media is not our friend. Mainstream journalism is dead. You would turn more heads on Tik Tok.
Would anyone stay with a manual after that happened to them?Also glad your niece is in good spirits. Jeep is a material and can be replaced, life cannot. Let us know when she purchases her new Jeep and hopefully she stays with the manual transmission.
I would again and again. The 8 speed is too heavy and the powertrain loss is stupid high whem compared to the 6-speed manual.Would anyone stay with a manual after that happened to them?
She wants another manual in spite of this and me praising the 8speed automatic.Would anyone stay with a manual after that happened to them?
