I have contacted the manufacturer and several other jeep wrangler owners. Every owner I have contacted (30+) has experienced the exact same problem. The manufacturer is aware of the problem, but has not issued any advice or recall information. The transmission drops out of 5th gear, grinds in second, won't go into second when cold, and has all three problems in reverse. I have nearly been in several accidents due to the problem. Please help.

The throw-out bearing clips broke, which caused the clutch disc and pressure plate to be damaged, hense I had to have all replaced. When I called jeep to try to get them to cover this part which I thought would be under my bumper to bumper warrenty, they told me it was a "wearible item". So I told them it was not a wearible item, and they said anything to do with the clutch is a wearible item, and this sequence of actions had lead me to you.
