You get 5 different effective ratios. The difference between
that and a "true" 5 speed gearbox is of interest to gearheads.

It's use is it's a passing gear, to fill the void when you're going too fast
to downshift to 2nd
but a downshift to 3rd doesn't give you the necessary acceleration. so it's
ratio that fits
in between..

I'm waiting for that last end of year rebate push too.

but V8 jeeps are in short supply around here, dealers that stock 25-35 Grand
Cherokees
only have 1-2 V8's.

If you are really serious about buying before the year end, email me back
and I might have
so info of interest to you.

FYI

The transmission is a true 5 speed, AND also has a alternate 2nd gear.

Gear ratio:1
1st 3.00
2nd (upshift) 1.67
2nd (kickdown) 1.50
3rd 1.00
4th 0.75
5th 0.67
Reverse 3.00

5th gear is a second overdrive, for gas saving and quieter highway driving.

The alternate second gear help to smooth high-speed downshifts an maintain a
higher road speed. Makes towing easier.
