I personally like having a stick.

The issue on the JK is that the stick is looooong and has the precision of a John Deere of the 70’s... Gear change can be a bit rough if you are not at the right RPM. That said i prefer having the loose stick rather than an insane automatic transmission with no control on what’s going on...

Broncos will be better that a JK, there is no way to make is as bad unless you build a tractor!

OT, I swapped out the stock JK shift gate and lever for the B&M units.
Also got a pool ball shifter.

Much better.

Love my 6M JK jeep.

Would prefer a 2.7L 7M, but that ain't happening.

My reservation # puts me in the 2022 production model year.
So no hurry to choose. I'll wait and see how things pan out.

I have a first day reservation. So, I will need to make a decision soon. There are so few Manual trucks I am almost forced to do it.

2.7 would be the preference It....oh well.

Thanks for the responses.

As a D1 reservation holder, go with the 7M.

Life is too short for coulda-woulda.

My A4 started slipping around 60k-ish, but I owned it since it was at 44k, and the previous owner was from NYC. Upgraded to a JHM St1 and its been solid ever since

Depends where you are really as well, easier in the country and suburbs than city obviously
