JL vs. JK manual transmissions! How different are they??

In this video I give you guys some of the differences between the JL's Manual and the previous generation JK's manual.

Hope you guys enjoy and thanks for watching!

Just a heads up the floaty slop in gear isn’t the transmission but it’s actually the rubber bushing that is in the factory shift lever. If you swap in a B&M shift lever it makes a world of difference

Notice any rev hang? My new 23 revs itself when I put it in neutral. Only 2 weeks old. Trying to figure out why

OMG Finally YES!!! Manual explanations awesome .. trying to find out how to put manual into 4wd mode

Very nice comparison. Super helpful. Glad someone is covering the manual stuff. Love them. Thanks for posting.

Im just happy there are fewer manual jeeps than automatic... I know I have a rare edition thats closer to the original Jeel DNA.

Good, informative video. Just ordered my new JL Rubicon, would have loved a manual transmission but had to compromise to an automatic to maintain marital bliss...:) Thanks for sharing.

The points you make are valid on the jk. I have a manual transmission 2016 Rubicon hard Rock and the shifter is not only loose but also noisy. Also noticed that my clutch is squeaky like it sounded on your video. But all in all it is something that I have gotten used to over the 4 years I've had it. I drove a 1500 dodge truck Manual transmission prior to this....not much different

I just purchased 2018 Rubicon Recon with a 6 speed and its been a while since I drove a stick vehicle. As soon as I went to pull it on to the road I was in love with it. Sure, its definitely not the most refined manual trans or vehicle on the face of the earth but my god does it put a smile on your face just putting around haha. Even with the long shifts I just thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I just had to buy the Jeep! Thank you for the video and keep them coming!

Just thought I'd add: The floppy JK shifter is because of a rubber bushing where the shift handle connects to the transmission. Changing to an aftermarket billet aluminum shift handle will eliminate almost all of it. I personally did the B&M, and it's a night and day improvement. I have a video shared on YouTube about it

Can you pop the clutch in the jeep let's say the battery went dead in a emergency can newer standard Jeeps Be jump started or does something prevent it like some newer standard vehicles

I went with the auto on my JK, but I love the truck feel of my dad’s 2011 manual JK. Just feels badass and rugged

I think when you describe the throttle differences, you are actually describing the axle ratio difference (3.73 in sahara vs 4.11 in rubicon). Nice vid

09 jk manual transmission..it's stock rubber boot on shifter....sometimes 1st you need to specifically make sure it's in gear....has a habit of popping out...I like it

Good comparative between the two model years. I’m still in the research mode on Jeeps and I’ve never owned one previously. Thought about a four door, but the reality of it is my wife and I don’t really need all of that extra storage space. And having driven MINI Coopers for the past ten years I can see that I’d be happier with a JL and it’s improved transmission. Thank you again for the comparison.

Thanks so much for making this video, I've always wondered how the JL manual compared to the older version.

[halfunkbass]

I love my JK manual. It feels rugged and bad ass. I love the truck feel and the vibrations it gives when in neutral and why is that a bad thing when its a Jeep?

[Patchesgnzandknives]

Very cool Comp video, I don’t have a manual but I have wondered if it was much different from the JK. Keep up the good video’s dude!! I’ve heard other YouTuber’s say that your videos should hit the algorithm and get suggested more if it’s at least 10 minutes long, I also think it helps with the monetization. 👍🏻 great to see your channel growing.

Wasn't there a recall for manuals?

[aidenshearin]

I would love it if they put the manual on the 4-cylinder engine

I want a Rubicon 6spd! Great description!
