Sorry I couldn't find this specific topic on the forum so made a new thread--
Anyone had experience yet? As a novice off-roader still, I'm specifically curious/apprehensive about tackling an obstacle (esp descent) when I'm engaging the 'C' gear because I've noticed that in 'C' more than 1st gear, that even when you gradually come off the clutch (no gas), there seems to be a bit of a jump for me (almost like an increased 'launch' speed) to the initial gear engagement, in contrast to the post-engagement where the truck seems to move much slower. And I'm no noob to MT (on-road at least) btw.
I've only tested this in 2H so far (only had my bronco a few weeks) and was wondering if anyone has been off-road in 4L in the crawler gear yet and what are your thoughts on this?
I've noticed a similar highly undesirable jump from 1st gear in 4L in my previous Jeep Sahara JL, which is why I'm feeling like I may need to get real good at left-foot braking, or switch to an automatic if I don't want to break things off-road. Thanks in advance for insight/advice.
