Re: Ordering a 04TJ this weekend - opinions please!
 

After sitting a couple of days, my auto does not engage immediately. It
must "warm up" for 20-30 secs before the vehicle will move. They
replaced the forward pump under warranty which helped a bit, but it's
still not normal. Especially when you compare it to the "jump" you get
in most Wrangler autos going into gear.
