    bleeding the brakes

    If you have disc brakes in the front , you need to bleed the front first. This will allow the proportioning valve to locate the plunger in the middle of the travel. This is covered in the Jeep owners Bible, and it works because I had the same problem. Later, Jackal

    Stick or Auto??

    Both ways, I prefer an auto and high stall in my drag car, but a stick in my jeep . An auto builds a lot of heat idling on rocks at low speed.
