| Description of the problem | Purchase a used 2005 jeep wrangler (sport) with 103,000 miles in early 2011. The six speed manual transmission pops out of first gear about once a day when accelerating from a stopped position. It almost seems random, never know when to expect the event. The event is quite disturbing and loud, with a loud "pop". The jeep rolls forward but out of gear. I must quickly put it back in first gear to clear the intersection, red light, etc. What is going on with this transmission? Is it normal wear-and-tare, or is there a design defect with the transmission? What is the solution to this unsafe driving condition? Has there been a recall? |
