That's a rather loaded question. In the car world most people drive automatics (not me) so cars with automatic transmissions are more sought after and a manual tranny car is considered harder to sell. This I think has been changing a bit but I still suspect a premium is still placed on automatics.Do most folks order a manual or automatic. Do you think there is a big difference in resale value for the manuals if not many folks want these? Thanks
Except cost, both initially and maintenance/repair.I don't think it's a loaded question at all. Modern autos are better than manuals. Get a stick if you enjoy it (like myself), otherwise just get the auto and it'll be great.
I don’t think many of us dropping 50k on a fun car are too worried about gas price fluctuationsif prices of diesel sky rocket again...youll be swapping out for a Pentastar in a heartbeat lol
I think the "50" in 850RE means that it's rated for 500 lb-ft of torque. (Or maybe that's N-m.)I have not yet been able to find the torque specs. I've been searching the Grand Cherokee w/ Pentastar. Everything I see is for the HP model. An no, the RAM does not have the same 8 speed that will be available in the JL. The RAM is an HP. Same housing, different internals at a lower rated torque spec
The design is licensed from ZF.In my mind, I keep thinking the US side of FCA does not exactly have a good reputation for automatic transmissions. I miss driving manual in addition to that.
