The dealer is having a DC rep look into it and check mine out for possible bearing and disk replacement .Does anyones shift stick on here move excessively when you hit bumps? mine tends to shake about 10-12 inches from side to side when i hit bumps is this normal? from what i am hearing they may be some bad '08 tranny's according to my dealer he said they have had quite a few calls and mine was the first he had looked at with the '07 grinding noise from the throwout bearing. I hope they can remedy this because i love my jeep!

Hey All You JK People,

Apparently there are some issues with the JK Manual Transmissions and clutches. There are a few TSB's out for the Transmission and for the Throw out bearing which will make a loud chirping to squealing sound that will stop when you lightly ingage the clutch.

TSB_06-002-07 and TSB_06-004-07

I've had my Jeep for a month and it's in getting repaired right now. Don't let the dealership try to tell you it's normal for the jeep to make that sound..

Enjoy Jeeping.

Peace..

Oh my god man 3 transmissions? WTF Lemon law those bastards. That is simply bewildering! I would be yelling too! Think about it…can you imagine what this guy is going through! New Jeeps aren’t cheap FFS!

We should be thanking this guy for taking the time out of his absolute shit day to write about what’s been happening to him so we can ALL TAKE NOTE. LET THE GUY YELL IF HE WANTS!
GIVE HIM A BREAK!
