Hello, l tried the search function and and have read about violently popping out of first gear threads but it always sounds like they are able to drive away . I recently bought a 2010 jk with a 6 speed manual transmission 194,000 km. Have driven it approx. 10,000 km, with no major issues except l have always heard a slight knocking, rubbing, chirping type noise while it was running in neutral coming from the clutch/transmission area. (as you can see the noise was faint and not a big warning sign type). Sounded like something was just off a bit similar to when the plastic shroud gets hits by the fan. Today all of a sudden while trying to leave from a stopped position, it seemed to poop out of first gear and get stuck in neutral. Although it still starts when i depress the clutch it will not shift into any of the gears. It has never happened before. Overall the jeep is in good condition and was running as good as it could. My trusted friend is a great mechanic and l have put a lot of money into. Recently had all the driveline fluids changed. Besides the slight noise, there was nothing of concern. Has anyone else experienced this?

 

UPATE..........Jokes on me, l blew my clutch hahaha $1500-$2000

 

pretty sure it was a bad throw out bearing TOB

 

Well that's good to hear.. ask a question and wait a few hours and answer it yourself.. but at least now if someone else has a similar
problem they can find your reply to be very useful
