Damn, and I thought the 6 speed wouldn't happen. See my "wish list" in the Design A New Wrangler thread, LOL.

Sounds to me like this transmission may have more issues down the road than your traditional 5, at least for the first few years of production.

-Muuurgh But then again, what do I know?

Perhaps. I'm guessing (hoping?) it's going to have an extra low gear, under

I'm curious to learn more about this. There is no need for another OD, but like you say, the Low gear could be very interesting.

Taken from the Jeeps Unlimited newsgroup. Specs for the 6 speed manual transmission in the '05 Wrangler:

NSG370

6 forward 1 reverse Max torque input 272 ft/lb 1- 5.014:1 2- 2.831:1 3- 1.789:1 4- 1.256:1 5- 1.000:1 6- 0.828:1 Reverse 4.569:1

It covers all Jeeps, not just Wrangler Unlimited.

The name of the web site long predates the release of the Wrangler Unlimited. It is just a coincidence ... or is it?
