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!

Not with a stick but you can power shift if need be with a automatic.
Automatic rule in hard pulls plan and simple because you CAN change
ratios under power if need be and select gear to match traction and
speed. A lot of dozer have a torque converter in drive because it
allws for torque mulitplaction under load and makes power shifts
smoother too. YOu are wrong on this one as your are on a lot of things
as usual

Maybe which some like you that beleive that proper axle ratios do not
matter. A Automatic rules here too because you can feather your
traction far better than with a stick. My K3500 60000lb truck never
goes down to 1st in low range no matter what you are doing under load
nor does my old J20 even one hardest pulls. Why because I do not
believe in you tall tinker toy axle ratios that severly limits your
effective gear ratios. People like you with no vision or understanding
of all this think none of this matter. BTW, howmany trucks in
unlimited truck pulls have you seen with a manual??? Likely none.

Likely because they share your beleif that axle ratios have no effect
on power and traction. Give me a automatic and gears in same vehical
and I will get through anything you can with your tinker toy and they
some

Again you are so clueless here, they have anthoer solution too it is
called proper gears for engine and tire size because if it is right
you will NEVER need first in low range on the move unless you need to
crawl real slow. If you need first it is because your effective gear
ratio (tire size and axle ratio) is too tall for your engine/vehicle
combo. I can see whay you do not see this though because you have
NEVER owned a 4x4 that was properly geared to begin with so you do not
know any better.
