2005 Wrangler
I'm wondering if anyone has checked out the six speed and the most
recent version of our beloved TJ. I'm having trouble finding much out about them. Who's got one? |

I test drove two of them, and an '01. The '05 had a softer ride and a generally nicer interior. Of course, the '01 had the vinyl seats so it wasn't the best of the '01s. I don't have one, yet, but I like it and will be going back to the dealer soon. FYI the shift pattern has 6 where R usually is on an American 5-speed and R is moved to the right so it is still in the rightmost back position. This puts 3 gears on the front row and 4 on the back row. -D -- Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.

The trans is the same as is used in the Crossfire, which makes me wonder if it will be strong enough. It is also used in the Libby, but that does not calm my nerves very much, I see the offroading of the Libby to be closer to that of the Crossfire than to the Wrangler. That is, I think the Wrangler is generally a more capable platform for the very rough offroad routes whereas the Libby not meant for the same kinds of extreme routes. I just have to wonder if the 6 spd is going to work out well in the long run. I like the features of the 6 spd, don't get me wrong. I just wonder if it is a giant step backwards to the light weight transmissions of the early YJ, and away from the mid-weight transmissions of the current TJ and the older CJ. |
