Strange! I had a '93 and a '99 Wrangler and neither one had any 2nd gear problems. But I did have some occasional grinding going into reverse. From what I understand, my '03 has a totally different transmission and reverse is now synchronized. BUT, this transmission makes all kinds of weird clunking noises which have been described as "normal". Chalk it all up to Chrysler's clunky engineering.
Thanks Dave, makes me feel better to know I'm not looking at an expensive trans repair. Can I switch to a synthetic at this point (63k) without any other problems, like developing leaks? Anything else I need to change besides the fluid?

NV3550 does not have a syncro'd reverse, AFAIK. Been using this one since MY
2000.The clunkyness and noise when idling in neutral are to be expected (note I did not say "normal").
