It's hilarious beacuse in 2018 they started equipping the Jeeps with a better manual transmission (the one that your rowing in this video). My jeep gladiator has the same transmission. When I went from a 2017 and earlier 6 speed to the new 6 speed the new one feels like an amazing short throwing positive shifting transmission that feels amazing. You think it feels bad but trust me compared to the previous model year that transmission your shifting, it's amazing. The old 6 speed has super long throws that seem twice as long. Flops around like a fish with every bump. Goes into gear like throwing a golf ball into a football goal post. Pops out every now and then. It's like going from shifting a clapped out farm truck with no shifter bushings to a crisp shifting sports car. If you get a chance to drive a jeep 2007-2017 with the older 6 speed do it and you will gain a new respect for what you have here lol

That's absolutely true. I had a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, and I recently traded it in for a 2019 Wrangler Unlimited, and I was totally surprised by the improvement of the shift quality of the manual transmission... huge improvement. I don't like the new shift pattern though, because I keep forgetting that first gear is reverse now.

This was a really good review. The Mrs has a 2015 JK. Its also a manual. Difference is it has a dogleg reverse instead of the lift button on the shifter. Shifter is also kinda clunky with a bit too strong of a centering spring. I really enjoyed this. Amazing video as always.

I drove the automatic twice for extended periods as rentals. Loved 2018. Did not like earlier version as well and hated the 2 door with MT. I like this one and the MT
