Manual Transmission - Issues shifting into 1st & Reverse (Compilation thread)

[basemodel]

Not to drag you down, but there are people with the internal throwout bearings who report the same issues as everyone else. I hope yours works out OK. But that's why Toycrusher's theory is sounding so compelling...

I think his theory is correct, at least after looking at things first hand. I’m just hoping that it will at least hold up to heat from long drives combined with trail driving better than the factory set up.

Nice. I'm definitely interested in the livernois tune and how well it controls rev hang

There is also a member on the forum who is a tuner. You can find his thread here: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...26-jl-3-6-models-etorque-included-now.164496/

It would probably be more expensive overall, but the bonus is that he will review your datalogs to make sure everything is running correctly. He also periodically sends updates tune files with new features, and the tune can be customized to your liking, such as changing throttle response or cooling fan settings.

Without a doubt, his customer service is absolutely top of the line, which is very important to me.

Circling back:
I spoke with my shop last week and they said they deal with both South Bend (mostly diesel trucks) and McLeod (Mostly Hotrods) and they're going to contact them, ask questions based on our conversations about the Jeep clutch, and see what they have to say. I'll be following up with them tomorrow or the next day.

That said: Does anyone here have extended experience with the updated South Bend or McLeod designs? Looking for community feedback here as well.
