Jeep Wrangler: MANUAL TRANSMISSION — IF EQUIPPED / Shifting
Fully press the clutch pedal before shifting
gears. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly
press the accelerator pedal.
You should always use FIRST gear when starting
from a standing position.
NOTE:
A certain amount of noise from the transmission
is normal. This noise can be most noticeable
when the vehicle is idling in NEUTRAL with
the clutch engaged (clutch pedal released), but
it may also be heard when driving. The noise
may also be more noticeable when the transmission
is warm. This noise is normal and is not
an indication of a problem with your clutch or
transmission.
Recommended Vehicle Shift Speeds
To utilize your manual transmission efficiently for both fuel economy and
performance, it should be upshifted as listed in recommended shift speed
chart. Shift at the vehicle speeds listed for acceleration. When heavily loaded
or pulling a trailer, these recommended up-shift speeds may not apply.
NOTE:
Vehicle speeds shown in the chart above are for
2WD High and 4WD High only. Vehicle speeds in
4WD Low would be significantly less.
WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you leave the
vehicle unattended without having the
parking brake fully applied. The parking brake
should always be applied when the driver is
not in the vehicle, especially on an incline...
Moving from a high gear down to a lower gear is
recommended to preserve brakes when driving
down steep hills. In addition, downshifting at
the right time provides better acceleration when
you desire to resume speed...
