Engine is consuming excess amount of oil between oil changes. No oil leaks detected (no leaks found). Engine is consuming 7 to 8 quarts of oil per 5000 miles. Noticed this around 45,000 miles. My jeep now has 62,000 on the odometer.

At 2 MPH in 2h and 1st gear of manual transmission, drove onto a wet grassy area and engaged the transfer case into 4h. After 150 feet at 3 MPH and vehicle rolling, I depressed clutch and shifted transfer case into 4l. Made u-turn and crept at 2 MPH. Moving forward, depressed clutch, let off gas and shifted transfer case into 4h, drove to the edge of street and stopped. With foot on brake, and clutch depressed, I shifted the transfer case into 2h position but heard snapping sound and the lever went loose. Taking hold of the lever, I found it flopped freely forward and back. Manual transmission was in first gear, but when I let the clutch up, the vehicle didnt move. Moved the gearshift to neutral and back into 1st gear. Released the clutch but the vehicle didnt move. Turned vehicle off, engaged parking brake, and inspected underneath. Nothing hanging from the transmission or transfer case. Depressed clutch, put gearshift lever in neutral and started. Put the gearshift lever into 1st, but when I let up on clutch, the vehicle did not move. I released the clutch with gearshift lever in 1st and released the parking brake. The vehicle rolled backward into the swale. Vehicle towed to jeep dealership. Invoice states, "customer states while shifting veh. Into 4h something snapped and now veh. Won't go into gear at all. Tech found transfer case shift cable broken at both ends. Completed removal & replacement of transfer case shift cable. My concern is this could happen when someone shifts into 4h while driving on a wet, slippery road surface up to 50 MPH. The vehicle would quickly loose forward momentum, coasting to a stop, and possibly be struck from behind.

The jeep wrangler jk series with manual transmissions have in inner shift boot that becomes dislodged and cause the vehicle to pop out of gear. This happens at least once a month. My jeep was brought to the dealership for repair and the problem happened again after 2 months. Other jeep wrangler owners report the same issue.

2007 jeep wrangler with a manual 6-speed transmission. When starting from a stop 1st gear will disengage (pop-out) transmission when the clutch is released. Does not happen everytime but occasionally, with no warning, often leaving one in the middle of oncoming traffic unable to accelerate without having to re-engage 1st gear or going directly to 2nd gear.

Manual transmission does not shift properly since day one of ownership. It has been serviced by 3 different dealerships and remains problematic and dangerous. At the current time it is hard to shift into second gear and "pops" out of first gear.
