Hi All,

I am new to Jeeps and the forum. I'm looking at getting a 2011 JK Wrangler Unlimited CRD. Can't decide between manual or auto (have read all the good and bad things on the forum). I've always driven manual, and feel comfortable with it, just don't know if I can handle the "when/if the clutch is going to go on me" problem.
Looking forward to any feedback

Jess

Welcome to the madhouse Jess, either way (auto or manual) you should love it regardless. Personally, if I was getting the CRD I would go for the auto for the little bit extra power and the less work off road.

Dont get me wrong I love my manual (petrol) but can see when offroad the auto would be handy. Also the clutch issue is a bit of a worry, but have also read of many that have 100,000 + with no problems. Also should be noted there will (hopefully) be some aftermarket Dual Mass and also a solid flywheel available shortly.
