OK, then what fool thought the NV1500 5sp manuel transmission in my
Wrangler 4 banger (Chevy S-10 trans) was the way to go. It's nothing
but junk! And the dealer says it's the nature of it, they all shift
like
that??? Sure will be glad when I can trade it off for something
better,
but unless I win the Lotto I'll have to make a few more payments.

i find that rather irrelevant. fact is, ford has more history in the
original jeep than anybody else because ford is still ford, and willis
doesnt even exist anymore. ford is the only existing company with a
stake in the original jeep. i feel sure ford would have maintained
jeeps heritage even moreso than dcx.
