Re: Transmission Probs..
That could imply it has hit hard, hard enough to shift the tub maybe? I
would be taking a tape measure to it just to see.... I shifted my CJ's
once. I was kinda tipped over though to do it....

Assuming the shifter/shift fork is fully engaging the gear in question,
jumping out of gear is almost always caused by worn teeth on either the gear
itself, or the clutch sleeve (that's the sliding ring the shift fork moves
to engage the gear). A worn synchronizer will just cause it to grind, not
pop out of gear.

I agree with your friend, it's a broken sync ring, looks like:

Re: Transmission Probs..
Hey Bill....how would this be caused???
how do they become damaged??
would/could it be something that I did??
it's just that going into the dealer is getting to feel like going to the
principals office...
