This one's got around 175k on it. I suppose a master rebuild kit is
not out of the question, although it's not given any trouble up to
now, nor did it whine or make any funny noises before 5th let go.

Re: WTF happened to 5th gear?
That 4 banger trans is the weakest one that Jeep ever used. You can put the
5spd from behind a 4.0L and get a big improvement. There are several
transmissions that you can drop in that are better than the stock trans.
