Manual Transmission Club

[BJV95050]

Did a status check on mine today, the status below is a copied chat conversation I had this morning.... Is anyone else over the 30 day D status "waiting in purgatory" for a manual transmission?

ETA N/A Status: Pre-Scheduling phase (D) 025 days in
We appreciate your patience with us while we launch this exciting new product, at this time I have found your vehicle order status, currently we do not have an estimated time of arrival (ETA) available but I can insure you your vehicle is following the process perfectly and is right on schedule. At this time your vehicle status is as following: Order is in the scheduling phase of the manufacturing process. The parts required to build the vehicle are being scheduled and as soon as they available and ready, order will be scheduled for build. Most orders are scheduled for build within 30 days after reaching this stage. I would advise contacting back next week.

Basically this status is just blah, blah blah....I'm starting to lose interest. Our orders are a guaranteed purchase, not sure why they have to put us manual transmission orders on the back burner. So, from my understanding the order is right on schedule but no ETA?

Everyday, I look at the tracker and see that my status is updated....what exactly is updated?

Hope you manual transmission people have a good weekend, hope good news gets to each and everyone of you soon. I'm done with my weekly rant.

PS:
As for the "insure" part.....To assure is to tell someone everything's ok, to ensure is to make certain, and to insure is to protect financially.
Please Jeep, continue to protect me and my build financially throughout the build process

According to the window sticker/build sheet tracker, we are starting to see some trucks ordered on 5/14 make it thru the line and ready for shipping. So we may start to see some movement with other mid-May orders soon, too. Fingers crossed.

I got the same reply, word by word. I've been in D status hell for 25 days, ordered on 5/1.

What do you want for a mere fifty some thousand dollars, personalized correspondence?

We're low rent here brother, we get form letters.

All back a da bus.

Same exact status

I ordered my white Rubicon JT with manual on 4/27. VIN issued 5/13. Still in D status as of yesterday.

Good post. I was also wondering if the limited share of manuals would affect delivery time.

For anyone second-guessing their decision to get a manual, i found this article helpful:
https://www.extremeterrain.com/wrangler-jeep-automatic-versus-manual-transmissions.html

I have doubts about that video posted recently on manuals--the guy doing the video seems not to be very experienced with manual. Hard to believe it would stall because the engine is too quiet.

I just chatted with a FCA Rep. Hope this is true.

Ordered: Sport S, 18 May
Billet Silver Metallic
6-Speed Manual Transmission
Options: Tow Package, Premium Soft Top, Alpine Stero, Cold Weather Group
VON: 43858575, 22 May
ETA N/A Status: Pre-production (D1) 005 days in this status
Thank you for your patience as I have found your vehicle. At this time there is not an ETA on your vehicle. I have found a status under your vehicle at this time your status is as following: All of the materials needed to start the build process have been received. The vehicle should be entering the build process very soon. Please be advised you can be in this status up to 30 days I would advise checking back next week to see if an update has been made.

@Nick - Very much a cut and paste response, I'm sorry to say.

Welcome to the Twilight D Zone.

Welcome to the Twilight D Zone.

His is very different from everyone else. I would say he is in d1 which should give hope to all of us.

 

[Hurley82]

I'm currently at 34 or so days of D status, Rubicon lightly optioned. Been a week or so since I checked with jeep but will follow up tomorrow.

My order is exactly the same as Nick's above other than sport S. Gives me hope it's out of D status. Who knows though.

I "ordered" my Sting Gray Rubicon on Saturday, so I'll be curious to know if they've started to build the M/T's.

Have they started taking sting grey orders? That was my first choice but wanted to get my order in day 1 thinking I'd get it this summer. Seeing how that probably won't happen I'm somewhat annoyed.

 

[Evilhomer 0||||||||0]

Late check in here,

MT, Firecracker Red, Sport S w/ Premium soft top(Dealer threw in to avoid delay)

Waiting like the rest. Anyone else get word of a window tint delay? I got a heads up from my guy, but nothing official yet.

I've been hearing that FCA opens the orders up roughly 15 days prior to the start of the build dates... So I took a shot in the dark, and hopefully the flood gates will open on Monday.

 

[DenverGladiator]

I ordered on May 31st .... only a week wait so far. I went camping this weekend, both nights I dreamt my Gladiator was delivered over the weekend and ready for pickup when I got back in town. At this rate, it’s going to be a long 3+ months.
