Turns out Jeep must have updated their press kit as it contains this information. Still, first I’ve heard of it.

It was in Motor Trend’s article on the JL, too.

ah, well there’s your problem, I don’t care about trends as much as I care about weeks. Therefore motorweek > Motor trend

I’m still mad that they couldn’t put a G56 behind one. They have all of the needed parts already, and it will fit in the same space as the 8spd auto.

The only issue would be getting the shifter to work.

It weighs a bit over 200 lbs, about the same as the 8HP.

It also fit in the JK....
