1989 Jeep Wrangler from North America
Summary:
I hate to love my Jeep
Faults:
Transmission. The 1989 model year has a Peugeot 5-speed transmission that was very poorly designed and made. I found this out after purchasing the vehicle used. Additionally, getting the transmission properly rebuilt has been very expensive ($1,500.00) due to the difficulty in obtaining rebuild parts and the degree of difficulty of the rebuild.
Also, the wiring system has a short that I have been unable to locate.
General Comments:
The 6 cylinder engine is strong, but likes lots of fuel.
Despite the negatives of the 1989 model year, I love the ride.
I am going to get a newer Jeep, one with a fuel injected 6 cylinder engine and a better transmission.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

There's nothing wrong with a "Wrangler Tank".
