Is it normal for parts under the hood to be rusted on a brand new Liberty?
I can't remember what all was rusted right now, but there were some bolts rusted on the tips, the wheels for the serpentine belt were rusted, and some other parts. I wasn't concerned about it, but since I'm having other problems with the manual tranny I thought I would ask.

It's definitely normal on TJs. Driveshafts, steering boxes, etc... they'll show surface rust, right on the dealer's lot.

Almost all engine components will obtain a generous coating of surface rust because of the extreme enviornment that they operate in. The black paint that is used on pulleys, bolts, exhaust, etc is just a beauty coating to make any vehicle look prestine on the dealer lot (or showroom)

There is absoultely nothing wrong with those components

That could mean that the clutch is going out. :twisted:
