0 to 50, 55, first and second gear.

My phone was sitting on the center console so you can hear the trany working. It really is not that noisy.

8) Nothing wrong. Been a little noisy since new... Just the nature of the beast I guess.
It's also louder in the Vid because the phone was sitting on the center console, right next to the stick shift, mic facing down. Fluid levels are fine. When sitting in the rig driving, you can't hear it at all.
I've hit 60 in second gear every once in a while, just to keep the carbon burnt out. Then I shift to 6th...
One thing I don't like about the stick is on decel it does not compression brake like my old Cherokee did. Compression braking is nice when towing a trailer, it saves the brakes from getting too hot on long steep hills.

Still jealous of all these manual equipped KKs and KAs. There's nothing like rowing your own gears. The extra control is just another plus.

Hard to believe the 3.7 can set you back in the seat as well as it can, when it can breath.
My exhaust is a Magnaflow #11226. 2.5" in and out, I left the resonator on.
Still working on my custom intake tube, but life got in the way...

Sounds good. If you rev it high during the perfect lighting, you can see the carbon in your rearview. 8)
