Now that's some bad timing, I hate when that happens! The test dyno is awesome, I never would have thought of that.

Was awesome except it proved the transmission is not happy inside.

Got rid of my 16 JKU 6spd for a 2017 JKU auto
seems to be a common trade....ive known 4 people who traded the 6speed for AUTO. how bad did they get you on trade in?
Why are people going from a 6 speed to an auto? Is there something wrong with the 6 speed?

I have a '12 JK manual 6 speed, 321 gears (bought maybe 9 mo.s ago).
Love the Jeep, not so much the 'hole shot'.
I knew it was 'different' when I test drove it, but figured I could deal with it.
BTW, I've drove manuals maybe 85% my whole life (I'm 64 (I think)).
It had 52+K miles on it when I bought it. The gas pedal it 'fly by wire', no mechanical connection like my old YJ. It feels weird, to say the least. The pedal engages higher up than what I was used to, and seems very ambiguous until it does.
The motor (3.6) has no power until 17-1800, so it's no help. If you don't burn a little clutch, or nail it just right, you will stall (embarrassing!)
So that's my experience with the 6-speed. Thx for listening!

Only reason I did it was they offered me all the money on the trade and lowered my payment. The fact it was an auto just sweetened the deal

Nothing wrong with it, just had the opportunity to get a new vehicle and a 6spd wasn't available in what I wanted

Eh...I like the 6spd in Jen's JK. We would have preferred an auto only out of laziness as it's a daily driver mall crawler but I enjoy driving it. She was more particular about getting the color she wanted than what trans it had so 6-spd it was... That being said it's a Rubi with 4.10's so you get into the 3.6's powerband quickly and don't suffer the same issues of having to ride the clutch.

Fix yours and go back to being able to drive your own rather than your wife's.

Half my problem is I can't hear the motor, and I can't feel it, either (at low rpm)- so I'm thinking an exhaust upgrade- something with a little sound- is there any negative to that?
If you go wheeling it people will not like following you on the trails.

Eh. My 4.0 is straight piped and dumped under the cab. It probably annoys me more in the vehicle than others on the trail. I don't find it that bad.
I've de-railed this thread- sorry
Anyway, I took out my back seat yesterday. Stupid thing is heavy!
Today- drove it to work (like usual)
These came today. After about 20 years I'm retiring my Leon Rosser high backs.

Very nice! I had a Rosser catalog here for years, I think they went out of business. Suspension seats are really comfortable.
