1. The TorqShift is advertised as being a 5 speed automatic, when actually it has six forward speeds. On cold engine operation (below 0 degrees) the overdrive clutch is engaged in third gear for a ratio of 1.09 : 1. The transmission will shift directly to sixth from fourth and fifth is skipped. On a warm engine the shift pattern would be 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th (direct drive), 6th.

Interesting... Never even thought about it... I know my wifes Jeep Liberty is a "4" speed but is really a five speed because there are 2 second gears for various driving situations...

I thought that I heard somewhere that they changed the shift sequence on the 08s. Does anybody know this to be a fact?
