ˆˆˆ This.And here I thought JLUs are more common in auto because they get better mileage, and by some standards perform better than a manual off road, and because the manual trans is built like garbage now![]()
Comparing a 3 or 4-speed TJ automatic vs a 4 or 5-speed manual mated to underpowered engines, makes the manual appealing.
Now, in the JL generation, we are comparing a very poorly implemented 6-speed manual with horrible clutch and very long gearing to the absolute best auto-transmission in the industry (ZF) with 8-speeds and very good gearing.
On the JL you must sacrifice quite a bit of capability, performance, fuel economy, ability to go to bigger tires without regearing, etc if you select the manual.
**** AND *** you need to forego all the cool engine options (392, diesel, 2.0, 4xe) and all the cool packages (XR, Beach, etc) if you choose the manual. ****
