Summarize the 6MT Situation For Me

[wave26]

Is that your experience? I work through mud and sand pulling a trailer and my Jeep drives just fine. The clutch isn't optimal by far but I really enjoy driving mine. I'm post 19A recall and haven't gotten a "Clutch too hot" error.

EDIT: I fell for troll bait. :-(

Yes. As described here.

@SadRobot's manual compilation thread has a lot of info, but this was the first sign of her clutch issues so I knew what was coming.

Wild that thread has 74 pages now.

I may be in the minority here, but I had a ‘19 Sahara with the 6MT and I liked it so much I sold it last fall and bought a Willy’s 2 door with the 6MT.

I really like it and I am happy with it. If something happened to it (accident etc) I would buy another exactly the same spec.

Ha ha, great short summary! Now i know what it is like to drive a 1978 dump truck!

• B&M makes a short-throw kit for the Jeep 6MT. Reduces throw by almost 20%. Appears to be a pretty simple install. I may give it a whirl. Save my knuckles and quit randomly engaging the emergency flashers.
• I now have improved pedal feel. Enough that I can now "feather" the clutch. Makes a big difference, especially offroad.
• I don't disagree, but don't totally agree. There is currently no better aftermarket option. My advice is don't buy the 6MT if driving it is that bad for you. Mine is ok now.

When mine behaves itself it is actually pretty fun to drive. It’s just the “when” and “if” it is going to, and what’s going to work to smooth it out this time. With half of my previous vehicles being manual transmissions along with countless motorcycles, I’m pretty used to adapting to their individual quirks and so forth. But not properly engaging or disengaging as a “quirk” is a little less fun
