I have never driven a manual Jeep. I will be buying the JL unlimited for daily use. I am also a big fan of manual cars and currently own one.
Any feedback on the manual gearbox ?
Nt sure I would buy another manual living in a congested city. It’s just a pain in the ass in traffic.

If I’m not mistaken, the manual transmission will be the same as on the 2012 & up JK. I really liked it. It was easy to shift, and you control the powerband, not a computer. Some people complain of the reverse being too close to 5th gear, but I never had a problem with that.

My JK8 is the first Automatic wrangler we have owned. I’m guessing we have owned about 10 or so.
I like the auto but, my wife will not let me get another auto. So there’s that.
She still has your balls under lock and key I see
#1 - You need to get out wheeling with us more.
#2 - Jen needs to do more of the driving on the rocks.
I love manuals and I'm glad that I still have 2 Jeeps that still have them but for wheeling, I think I will always get an auto from here on out.
#1. Yup, she scares me.
#2. You moved away asshole.
#3. Rocks are boring, I’d rather be in a dirt road hauling ass.
#4. When I’m your age, I’m sure the Auto will be the way to go.
Also, this new 8 speed automatic, may fix some of the minor problems with the current auto, just by virtue of having another couple of gears.
