1992 xj 2.5L 5 spd rare ????

jdw96035 · Feb 24, 2005

I have a 1992 xj am/fm, air,carpet,cloth seats, 2.5L injected, 5 spd, 30 hp in front
35 in rear 4.10 gearing. all stock except 30-9.50-15 tires and 3" lift.
I keep hearing wow I have never seen that before- manual trans in xj from factory.

is it rare to have this factory combo??????

so far I have owned it 3 years and just started making it a little more trail worthy.

Is it rare to have a 5 speed? No. Is it rare to have a four cylinder...sorta in a 92, but it not 1 in a million or anyhting.

Wish I had one.

I have a '99 2.5L, 5-speed. Had to order it.

No, not terribly rare (we have an '87). From my observations around here it would seem that that would be the second or third most common configuration for pre '97's. First most common being 4.0 auto, then a toss-up between 4.0 5spd and 2.5 5spd, with the 2.5 auto being the rarest (gee, I wonder why?).
Now the '97+ 2.5 5spd that I see around here once in a while is probably really rare.

I've got a 98 XJ with the 2.5/5-speed combo. Never really thought about it but yeah i guess that combo is kinda rare for a 98.

Thanks guys. I really like it and have never had a prob with it. thinking of replacing the engine (228000 miles) still runs fine but it has to be getting close.
