I agree about the advancement in the auto trannies. My 3.6L JKU will intuitively hold a lower gear downhill with little brake force from the driver/me... Until I tap the gas.

By comparison, I have to have both my feet standing on the brakes in my XJ on a downhill run, while putting the T bar on 1-2, and my hand glued to the hand brake lever..... (on the Blacktop). Off road, there is 4 Lo but no gadgets to slow it even more...

Maybe manuals will be available by special order?
