Re: Transmissions - Wranglers
They you are VERY narrow minded.
I'm not saying an auto is better than a stick or visa versa. I'm just saying
that you need to realize that there are LOTS of reasons folks like an auto,
and there are LOTS of reasons folks like a stick.

Re: Transmissions - Wranglers
Hmmm...that's very interesting, Matt.
My '06 Rubi has a much more sensitive throttle than my '02 Wrangler, and it
is harder to control when going slowly over bumps, etc. Maybe I should also
check for a missing spring. Exactly what and where should I look.
I just took a look and there is a large coiled spring, but is there a second
spring that might be missing. Just what spring was actually missing on
yours?

Ditto, and with high beams that's many times the only thing I can
see are the sides of the road as straight ahead is dark nothing as it's
just space off a cliff on our California mountain roads.
