Re: AM I HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON MY NEW JEEP???
OK. From reading your responses, it is something broken - either a
"synchro" or something else. But why does it only happen occassionaly.
From reading the posts on the link, putting all new transmissions into
jeeps did not permently fix the problem. BTW, I am NOT mechanically
inclined and I just bought the vehicle at a reputable dealer, but "as
is". I am not sure if there is a return policy on used cars or not.
Any more suggesstions or ideas?

Re: AM I HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON MY NEW JEEP???
Well, I think an e-mail from "Ryan" helped me determine the problem.
He said he was having a similar problem and discovered that a TSB was
released regarding this issue. Checking it out online, I found that
this can be a problem for Jeep Wranglers manufactured between Nov 20,
1999 and May 17, 2000. The TSB involves replacement of the shift shaft
lever to allow the addition of a new detent spring and plunger. The
first dealership I have called thus far stated it was about a $750
repair job. I plan to have it completed after the Holidays unless the
dealership foots the bill (yeah right) and I will let you all know if
it fixed the problem. Thanks for all of your help!
