Description of the problem	Stock jeep 2008 wrangler x 29,000 miles has j. O. G. Violently jumps out of gear when accelerating in first gear. Swear you were rear ended by a car the first time it happens. Expect to find the whole transmission is laying on the street. Jeep claims is a soft boot problem and then if that doesn't fix it they replace the whole transmission. The condition is very dangerous trying to make a yielding turn on green. I have narrowly avoided getting t-boned when i had transmission failure in the middle of a 5 lane road. Have almost been rear ended several time at a green light because it will accelerate normally for a second and then violently pop out of gear bringing the jeep to a halt. Gear shift popped out and jammed my middle finger on my hand so bad it still hurts 3 weeks later. Started happening after my death wobble experience at 29000 miles. Looking around this is a problem with 6 speed manual since the new model came out in 2007. Engineering flaw. Tranny should never pop out of gear under load unless there is a transmission failure. Jeep claims the tranny is fine and install a new soft boot. Thanks jeep/chrysler.
