The transmission was direct evidence of Chrysler's then-league with Daimler. NSG is an acronym for the German "Neues Schaltgetriebe"; literally meaning "new switching transmission" or "new manual shifting transmission". The transmission replaced the similar-strength NV and the light-duty NV in the Wrangler and Liberty vehicles.
The NSG is a top-shifting, longitudinally-loaded transmission. It features six speeds with a direct drive fifth gear and an overdriven sixth gear. It is fully synchronized in all gears and has helically cut gears for all speeds.
The NSG has a cast aluminum case with generous ribbing. It's integral front bellhousing is available in a Jeep 4. There are times when I am glad I have the Rubicon Transfer case, and there are other times I wish I had the Mojave transfer case, so, it always depends on the terrain. I think a Mojave with a stick would be a lot of fun. Go for it. Gladiator Well-Known Member. Mines a PIA because 2nd is so short but I still wouldn't trade it for an auto.

I will say that shifting for hills on the highway can get annoying. But I just don't think there is any other pure driving experience than with a clutch and gear shift. I unfortunately fall into the category of ordering a MT Rubicon and within yr 1 swapping it out for an auto.
The issue became a problem during extended road trips 2x - over 3K miles each where the gf wasn't able to give me a break driving. I attempted to teach her numerous times but cringed each time she killed it and couldn't learn. The concept just became too difficult for her to learn and I paid the price by having to swap it out. Overall I wish I still had my manual but my body enjoys the ability to have someone else drive when on extended drives.
Dewyaw Well-Known Member. Not all at the same time. The AT is very responsive, and much more relaxing on the highway. I test drove a manual, and there's nothing available at 60MPH in 6th gear, so you'll constantly be downshifting to accelerate.
I just wish it'd go into 8th a bit more often damn headwinds! Spcbl1 Well-Known Member. Fortunately, a lot.
Like the Jeep Wrangler, the Gladiator is more than capable of getting down and dirty at the trails. Now, the Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Gladiator are both current models. Say you want a Grand Cherokee with a manual transmission. Fortunately, there are plenty of used Jeep models out there, many of which come outfitted with a stick-shift.
