A 2006 Jeep Liberty with 6-speed manual transmission, found in a Denver self-service wrecking yard.
Jeep is down to just two models with available manual transmissions now , but it wasn't so long ago that ordinary commuter Jeeps could be purchased with three-pedal setups. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those machines: a first-generation Liberty with a six-speed manual bolted to its V6 engine, found in a Denver car graveyard recently.
Did the original buyer of this car prefer driving a manual-equipped vehicle, or was the decision to stick with the base transmission entirely about money? The engine is a 3.7-liter PowerTech V6, a member of an engine family whose development began under American Motors and then continued after AMC was bought by Chrysler in 1987. In this application, horsepower was 210 and torque was 235 pound-feet.
