I’m with ya Torero, I drove my dads trucks before I even knew how to put an automatic trans in “drive”. I love that metal to metal gear mesh and being in control of my gears. I never get sick of shifting (it’s like breathing I don’t even notice it). I’ve never owned a auto-trans car and never will.do you have a JL with manual transmission? If you do, please say so and maybe tell why you still like to drive with a stick.
I’m just curious how many of us are left. It was very difficult to find my JLU with Manual transmission. Most dealers said they would not carry them for stock, that it had to be ordered.
10 years ago was the same story with my FJ Cruiser.
I love to be in full control of the gears. I guess I like driving for the sake of driving. A car to me is much more than just a mean of transportation. Just like I love analog watches, and mechanical ones even more.
And by the way, I really like the JL transmission. I believe it is Japanese.
