Affected also and yes all manuals! It did state certain 2018-2020! Not sure what that means?

Maybe US only? Other countries may have a different transmission. Not sure, but mine is affected as well.

A guy who works at a dealership has posted a number of blown apart transmissions over the last few months. They look pretty explosive.

My '18 JLUR is included.

I'm not totally excited about it. Usually my wife driving with kinds in car seats and carriers that aren't all that easy to get out in a hurry were there an emergency...

Seeing that they are "working" on a fix... what the heck are we supposed to do?

Unfortunately with no remedy and no parts there is nothing you can do except drive it or park it.

I should quickly get the centerforce clutch and submit it befor the fix is in. Heard good things about that clutch on the JK.

Hey I look at it like this, we’re all getting fresh clutches. That’s like getting a free brake job.

Supposedly end of April there will be parts available. Supposedly...

I guess everyone in the family are getting stick shift lessons in the upcoming weeks. If they don’t get it by then, it’s on them.
