Heated Auto Shifter Knob?

[Ratbert]

Some of you guys are hilarious. Never rest your hand on the shifter. Geez. I wish someone would have told me that at some point in my 40 years of driving semis, some with up to 16 forward gears. I always left my hand on the shifter then as I do now in my Wrangler. I'm pretty sure had I ruined a 16 spd transmission by leaving my hand on the shifter, my maintenance people, not to mention the owner would have had a few choice words for me.

Yep, you obviously know this transmission better than Jeep does. If only they had put warnings in the owners manual about this that stated:

CAUTION!

Do not drive with your hand resting on the gear selector as the force exerted, even if slight, over time could lead to premature wear of the gearbox internal components.
