I don't have a rubi, but as for your shift question, my 05 SE doesn't go into 2nd smoothly sometimes and actually makes clicking noises rowing through the other gears sometimes even after warmed up and driving for an hour. I got a different tranny from the one you have, but I know a guy that has a Sahara from a couple years ago and same problems. Its a Jeep thing? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
