| Description of the problem | 1) during the period of placing the manual 6 speed into first gear, the gear will sporadically pop out and abruptly back into neutral. It does not seem to make any difference as to the temperatures nor conditions outside. It occurs under normal driving conditions. (state/city road 2wd) 2) the failure is that without warning in a sporadic state, 1st gear while engaged and moving at either 1 - 10 mph will abruptly pop out of first and land in neutral with a loud thud when occurring. This is a dangerous issue in that if one is pulling onto a road to go with or against traffic and this occurs, the end result could be life threatening. If one pulls onto a road and a car is moving at 40 mph and is unable stop, a high probability exists whereas a t-bone accident could occur thus causing death. Within 2500 miles, this incident has occurred 10+ times. 3) a service visit is currently scheduled, although if it is a collar or synchronizing issue, it will as likely as not be repaired. The incident does not duplicate time after time. As i mentioned, it has occurred it 10+ times within 2500 miles. Roughly 2. 5% of the time within the 0 miles to 2500 miles this issue has occurred. However, this is not the most accurate result due to 1st gear only being utilized when pulling out from a stand still. A vast majority of mileage is added within the 4 - 6 range. 2009 jeep wrangler x, 2dr. |
