Hello. I am a first time user. I have recently purchased a 2008 green jeep liberty with a sky slider and 6 speed manual. I love this machine. It looks great! I was weary of purchasing a vehicle with 100,000 mile on the odometer but it is flawless inside and out. (I swear it looks like someone towed this vehicle behind and RV it's whole life). When I test drove it you literally could only hear the noise of the tires on the road. The other day I let the clutch out with the e-brake on and I am noticing a slight chatter at idle and am concerned I may have damaged the engine slightly. |

The 3.7L is not known to be a quiet sounding vehicle. Switch to synthetic engine oil if you haven't already. That's quieted mine down a little. As for the transmission, not many members here have the 6 speed, I can only think of one. Someone with a manual KJ might be able to help you out. |

I think I am thinking of the same one. You could try PM-ing Diggerfreek. He's got an '08 manual. |

I have an 08 / 6 speed as well, mine has about 68k on it. Just had the transmission / transfer case / diff oil changed at 60k. In my experience, it does not like cold weather at all. At anything less than about 40 degrees, 1st and 2nd gear can get quite "crunchy". Letting it warm up for a minute on cold mornings definitely helps. I've noticed it sometimes shudders when pulling away from a stop when cold, but again after it warms up it's fine. |
