Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	After approximately 500 miles the vehicle began to exhibit difficulty in shifting from first to second gear. Problem is very apparent when the vehicle is cold, but still noticeable after the vehicle warms up. When shifting from first to second, it feels as if second gear is not fully synchronized. If it is done at a normal shift rate it actually clips second gear (and makes an associated clipping/grinding noise). Pausing in neutral and resting the shifter against second, you can actually feel two or three gear teeth go by before it will drop into gear. To get it to shift smoothly without clipping gear teeth requires a long enough delay in neutral that following traffic almost rear ends the vehicle. The driver is essentially faced with the decision of damaging the transmission or risking getting rear ended. Double clutching the vehicle helps, but obviously should not be required for a fully synchronized transmission. Took the vehicle into the dealer at 1164 miles and 1306 miles, but the service technicians claim they cannot reproduce the problem, but they adjusted and lubricated the linkage as a preventive measure. However, the service manager and another dealer employee who drove the vehicle have noticed that second gear doesn't feel the same as other wranglers with manual transmissions. I have also had several other people drive the vehicle and they agree that the transmission isn't shifting correctly. I am scheduled to take the vehicle in again for this problem, but via phone the dealer doesn't appear to have an identified cause or fix. Vehicle is now at approximately 1600 miles and problem is still very apparent, if not worse. This issue appears to be related to odi id number : 10156374 & 10160948. *nm
