Ideally, I'd love to see them mate the diesel with the 6MT, but I know that isn't going to happen because of the torque rating. I feel the 2nd best option would be a relatively small turbo to bump up the low end torque. Something that spools almost instantly, and and drags your torque curve to the left quite a bit. I'm not looking to win any races in this thing, so a bigass turbo that takes forever to spool would be nearly useless to me. A turbo would certainly make the engine much more jeep-friendly. Another option might be a twin-screw blower if there's room for it without chopping up the hood.
Here's what I'd love to see:
-Diesel or small turbo or twin-screw
-Keep 1st the way it is. I like a granny gear for offroading and traffic jams.
-Make 5th 1:1 and redistribute 2-4. Maybe make 2nd a little taller so 2nd gear starts could be easily do-able with the extra low end grunt.
-Obviously keep 6th OD. I think the ratio would be fine if the motor had some low end grunt.
-Make reverse taller. I have no need to go 35 mph in reverse.
