AM I HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON MY NEW JEEP???

I do not know what your problem is but I also have a standard shift 2000 Wrangler Sport (31,000 miles) and that has never happened to me.

A broken engine or tranny mount can cause this.

Above is at least one thread dealing with 2000 Wranglers popping out of gear...

Sounds like the shifting linkage isn't letting it go all the way into first gear. Could it just need adjusting?

A Wrangler has no linkage, the gearshift goes right into the tranny.

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?

I dont guess the warranty extened past four years on a 2000 wrangler did it?

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!
