Transmission was very hard to shift, problem was sporadic. Hard to get out of gear and then suddenly would release unexpectedly. Would happen while driving for a period of time & not right away. Took to dealer, and transmission was replaced at least 3 times. Been back off/on at dealer 10 times. Now on 4th transmission & dealer will not repair problem again.

Transmission makes a noise, sounds like the clutch-release bearing (throw-out bearing) as the sound goes away when the clutch pedal is pressed. In addition there is a vibration noise when shifting through the gears. Dealer states this is normal for the Jeep manual transmission??

Transmission is very noisey while in neutral and while shifting. Gets stuck in gear sometimes, and jumps out of first gear at times. "clunky" going from first to second gear and will roll in forward or reverse if you simulate putting vehicle in gear without touching any pedals, and it lurches forward when placing in gear from a stand still.

Transmission (5speed) jumps out of first gear all the time when starting from a standing start. Has done this since the night I picked up the vehicle. Dealership ask me to drive it for a few miles to see if it would clear up, it didn't. has gotten me into trouble several times while trying to merge with traffic. You never know when it's going to happen.
