POLL: Transmissions - Wranglers

I agree, but it was the backup spring that was missing from my TJL and one of the other posters mentioned he looked at several new TJ's on a dealer's lot and the backup springs were not included on them either. Without that backup spring the pedal can get very sensitive and harder to control.

Jerry:

I looked at 5 new 2006 Wranglers on the dealer's lot and none had the second, backup spring. My '06 Rubi does not have one.

I checked with my dealer parts department, and the '06 do not use a backup spring. I asked the parts guy to check for a spring on an '04, and his specs showed one, so I ordered it for my '06 Rubi.

Part number is: 52078102-AB. $4.85 list price. He had to order it for me, and it is due in Wednesday.

Hopefully, this will fix my overly sensitive throttle problem at low speed, over bumps.

Hey, I've been wondering what the problem with the touchy throttle on my '05 TJL was! I took a look at mine, and sure enough, no primary return spring!

For those who aren't sure what we're talking about, take a look:

ANNUAL engine washdown?

I clean my engine compartments about once every 6 weeks!

Shame on you.

Nicely illustrated JD! I got mine before I left the dealership, will prolly install it tomorrow when we finish converting from hardtop to soft top.

My kids aren't tall enough to reach the engine compartment yet, when they are it will be a weekly thing.

LOL. Damn Matt, you are a sick puppy. By that time the Jeep will be worn out.

Billygoat takes pictures of other people's stuff and lets people think they're his until he's confronted about it. Billy's a slime.

BTW, dub.com is a REAL domain so you're actually forging it, likely without intending to. Mail to snipped-for-privacy@dub.dub.dub.com would end up in the snipped-for-privacy@dub.com mail box.

Might I suggest making it dub.dub.dub.c0m? That way you're not forging.
