So, my new JLU Sahara is my first Jeep. All of my previous cars have been sport sedans with stick.
That being said, I have a question for those with manual transmission on your Jeep...
In pretty much all of my other cars, I would typically shift around 3000 RPM. I am finding it very difficult to reach 3000 in the Jeep. Is this engine designed to run at lower RPM. Riding at 70MPH on the highway in 5th, I am still around only 2200 RPM. How would I ever even shift into 6th gear? In my car before the Jeep I would be in 4th gear around 40MPH. I take it this is just something I need to get used?
For what its worth, even having come from very sport cars, I love driving the manual in the Jeep
