It is not a question of age. I was reading page after page this afternoon about the V6 Manual Transmission problems because that was what I had my heart set on in a 2 Door Rubicon. There are a number of issues with the manual but the big one is a small plastic part way down in the mechanics, I think were the tranny sends oil to the engine but I am not sure. You Tube it. Anyway this little plastic part breaks right at the end of warranty of course, not on just a few, but pages and pages of reports. When this little plastic part break you loose oil, a lot of oil, and it is hard to find the source because it drips down into the pan and by the time you notice it, it could be coming from anywhere. That is if you are lucky enough to have this happen close enough to home to get back to the garage. If it happens on the road, or worse off road, you are done. It would damage the engine to run it to get help because you would just be pumping all the oil out of your engine really fast.
I have decided not to buy a manual, and now with tranny problems in the automatics I may have to find a truck. Sponsored
