Another thing I have found with the m/t is first gear seems excessively jerky - not when changing gear, but it seems to react excessively with changes in acceleration.

I was helping a mate install a car alarm at the time so must have knocked it. I initially thought t...

New member from Brisbane - IronOxide

Hi, A new member from Brisbane here. I have a 2010 CJ ES which has served me well over the last few years.
