Hi everyone!
So I am building my jeep with Rob Tratchman over in Irvine. Big Shout out to everyone who referred him. Anyway, as the title states, I have narrowed down my options to the 6 speed manual 3.6 and the and the 8 speed auto 2.0. The jeep will be my main car. My commute is very short, about 4 miles each way. my main concern is longevity. Recently got rid of my 93 XJ that we kept in the family for about 25 years. I want this jeep to last just as long. I will be doing some light off-roading, mostly light to mild trails. My concern with the 6 speed is that I drive a lot of city miles, worried about how the constant shifting will affect the car in the long run. I love manuals btw, I have only owned 1 automatic. Can you guys weigh in with your thoughts and opinions? Thanks in advance.
