That's a bit pessemistic Yom. I have only 6 months to go in my warrantly period and have had no signs of clutch wear/failure yet. And I've only heard of a handfull of other people having problems
I highly doubt its got anything to do with the clutch being faulty, its probably just cheaper to produce one variation and they most likely sell way more autos than manuals. And this is clearly the way the industry is headed. Its unfortunate, I love manuals, and this was one of the things that attracted me to the JK - still offered a manual. The only other shorty on the market (at the time I was looking) was the pajero and that was auto only.
There is also a growing consensus that autos are better suited to off road driving than manuals.
