Hi Stephen
What is your budget? What do you plan to do with a Jeep?

Hi there. What do you plan to do with the Jeep? My last 2 Jeeps have

OK, a little anecdotal evidence to counter this. I have a '95 YJ, 4
cyl, 5 speed, all stock. My kid had a '95 YJ, 4 cyl, auto, all stock.
I consistantly got about 4-5 miles to the gallon better than him over
the same roads.
Of course we weren't plowing snow at the time.

I realize transmission type is a very important factor, however have you
decided on a particular model Jeep yet? If you are looking for a
"vintage" or somewhat older Jeep having already decided on a trans type
may be a limiting factor. Of course, if you are looking for a new Jeep,
you can get it in whichever you want.
For what it's worth, I have an auto in my '87 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, and
like it. I tend to shift it manually a lot while on the road & off. Of
course, you don't really get the same level of control as you do a
stick, but I like it. It's nice to be able to hop in & not worry about
clutching sometimes.
On the other hand, the auto transmission in my Jeep tends to get warm
when the transmission is under load. With a large "towing package"
cooler in front of my radiator, it heats up the entire engine
compartment while off roading if in high-range.
I think it really comes down to what you want to use it for & what your
personal preferance is. Even with the drawbacks, I like the auto in my
Jeep.
Good luck!
