Description of the problem	I have a little over 45k miles on my 2008 jeep jk and this started happening about 5 months ago. The first 1-2 times i sort of chalked it up to an unusual oddity. But it has now happened over a couple of dozen times! It seems to happen more and more now. This is a manual 6 speed transmission.... The problem has happened in first gear only. It always happens from a standstill stop. So i am stopped and in 1st gear (i know i am clearly and definitively in 1st gear as i am very conscience of it now!). I start going by slowly applying the gas as i ease off the clutch... And pop! The transmission snaps out of gear into neutral. It is a very violent experience. It gives the sensation of being hit from behind (what i thought the first time it happened). I am 47 years old and been driving a standard transmission since i was 15. This is the first ever of such type of problem for me. Nothing has been done as of yet for this problem . This is a very dangerous problem and at a busy intersection could be a potential deadly accident. I
