wtf 9-speed auto
All the cool kids are going to be using the ZF 9 speed; Land Rover, BMW/Mini, Jeep.
The 9HP is masterfully packaged and despite the extra three gear ratios is only 0.24 inches (6mm) longer and actually weighs 16.5 lbs (7.5 kg) less than the outgoing six-speed transmission. The compact packaging is achieved by using a number of innovative design features: A new compact hydraulic vane-type pump, two patented dog clutches replacing bulkier conventional clutch packs, and a nested gear set.[
2014 looks good… compared to the 2015 Jeepster:
