Interesting. That tab and mounting plate is used with the auto
tranny kickdown cable. Must be the throttle body needs a bit more
sproing for standard transmissions.
That part you can get at a hardware store, probably just have to bend a
hook in the end. Or maby a few rubberbands. :)

Re: Transmissions - Wranglers
Yep, mine is missing. I also looked on the dealer's lot today at 2 other '06
Wranglers, and they had no second spring. Maybe this is one of Jeeps
"improvements" for '06??
Thanks for the photo. I will be at the Jeep dealer soon ordering that
spring.

Re: Transmissions - Wranglers
Yep, mine is missing. I also looked on the dealer's lot today at 2 other '06
Wranglers, and they had no second spring. Maybe this is one of Jeeps
"improvements" for '06??
Thanks for the photo. I will be at the Jeep dealer soon ordering that
spring.
