Here's a weird one that I've never experienced in 40 years of driving manual transmissions. My Jeep is a 2020 JL Sport S with the 3.6L and 6 spd manual transmission. The Jeep has only 1500 miles on it and has driven perfectly normally up until now.
So you know how when you're driving a manual and you depress the clutch to shift gears and engine speed falls off, right? My observation with the Jeep has been that the engine would drop off almost 800-900 rpm before re-engaging, so I've trained myself not to shift before about 2500 rpm in this vehicle.
However, out of the blue comes a new behavior, and instead of engine speed dropping off during the shift, it stays steady or even sometimes goes up a couple hundred. What could this be? It's lasted a week and hasn't gone away or changed.
I'd love to hear if anyone else has experienced this and figured out the cause. Thanks!
