Hi all, What gives with having to "rock" my Rubicon back and forth to get the tranny to shift from drive to reverse to neutral and so on???
Kinda screwed up we have to struggle with the gear select lever isn't it?? $ 7,000 machine!! I dread to think of what a hassle it will be to plow snow, constantly having to shift drive to reverse and back again several times. I see all rubicon riders doing the shake-shake thing while perched atop their machines. You all know what i'm talking about!! Love my Rubicon, but i 'm getting tired of this problem. I also own a Suzuki Eiger 400 4x4 auto, and that gear selector is silky smooth, you couldn't bind her up if you tried.

 

i own 2001 ruby. never had 2 rock it. the problem is the shifter mechanism. its a little sloppy.all i do is shift into gearand give it a little hit on the throttle jumps right in. once ur used to it it wont b a problem .

 

Make sure your idle speed isn't too high, that will make it harder to use the subtrans. I've always the the Rube subtrans worked darn good, especially compared to the other brands I work on.
