New Members, please post introductions!

Been here for awhile but here goes.......

Just got my hands on a 2009 Compass Sport Edition Plus, 4X4 with CVT tranny............
So far so good ..........

I live in the Montreal area in Québec and I am a avid skier and golfer..............can't wait to get some snow to actually test the 4X4 on this one...........just sold my 2004 Santa Fe that gave me 5.5 years of loyal service............Hope the Compass will do the same !!!!!!

I have been here for awhile too but I will also add an intoduction to contribute to the thread.

My name is Eric, I live in Kansas City. I bought a 2007 Jeep Compass Rallye Sport back in January of this year. Black on black 18", tinted windows, short antenna.

I also have a 1984 BMW 533i that I like to play with and wrench on. Hobbies, frolf or disk golf if you will, working on my cars, and chiling with friends.

Look forward to meeting some new members!!

Cheers, Eric

Pics baby we want pics.............

Hey eze, we ain't too far away(Kansas). The difference is that you're a City Boy, and I'm a Hayseed! Just funning, and I'm glad to list you as a Forum Friend!

Where about are you located?? Im acctually in Olathe, KS. Just south of Kansas City.

Also Ill try to get some pictures up. I have been meaning to for awhile but I cant find the cable that goes from my camera too my computer. Soon for sure.

I live in rural Wabaunsee county near Harveyville.

I picked up a 09 bright silver north 2x4 edition about 2 weeks ago. Love it so far it is the first jeep we have owned. I live in Halifax Nova Scotia Canada, Cole Harbor actually. My kids go to the same school that Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins went to as a kid. This place is Penguins crazy tonight everyone is watching game seven on the edge of their seats.
I also have an 06 Mazda 3 that I like very much, I am a member of a Mazda forum and it is an excellent source of information. I am hoping that this one starts to come around. I have noticed more activity over the last week or so I hope it keeps up.

Glad you're on board Wes.......Pittsburgh is leadin 2 zip after 2 periods.........who knows you might see the Stanly Cup this summer in NS........

My first Jeep Compass 2009

Hello all,

Purchased a jeep compass in August 09 thru cash for clunkers program. I like the manual transmission, except there is a Clunk in the 1st gear. I've been reading posts (thanks all) and have taken it to the dealer under warranty.

Welcome to the forum...............tell us more on your Compass's model, year, color etc....

New members car description

I joined the group, with a White Compass 2009 Jeep which I purchased in Ft. Mill, South Carolina during the Cash for Clunkers program. It has auto door locks, tint and above all, a manual 5 speed transmission. It is currently at the Jeep dealer in Charlotte, NC with a clunking noise in first gear. I have done some online searching and found a similar problem posted in 9-08. I will get back to the forum when I learn what is wrong with mine!

Finally someone else I can speak southern to. Welcome photogirl to yall ya'll and yor kin. A lot of people (as great as they are) on this forum are from Canada, eh. How is my bald bud Mayor Funderburk carrying on?

Oooh... so sorry, I am really a California girl! I don't speak with a drawl yet! I believe Mayor McCrory is just about over as mayor in Charlotte, NC but don' think he is bald(yet).

the image you posted is very beautiful. Thanks for your greeting.

LOL... thats OK, I am originally from Chicago just playing the role of a southern gentleman. Actually Funderbunk is a real name and he is the Mayor of Ft. Mill, S.C.

Manual Tranny

clunk in 1st gear

Hello -- thanks for you well wishes. The car was picked up yesterday. They applied more torque to cradle bolts, and lowered the control arm bolts.
Also warned the rotors were a bit warped, but I let it pass.

Let's see how it goes from here. I like manual transmissions alot.
