BULL SHIT
THe dealer changed my clutch FOR NOTHING.
Later I trimmed the inner boot, and that was the problem
When you put a 1" body lift, the inner boot has less resistance in first, third and fifth. It's another solution

Default Trans replaced

Got it back from the dealer today, with a new trans. Gearbox feels completely different, and better. So far, no issues with staying in gear. We'll see after some miles....

Service sheet indicated star bulletin K28663307 for the issue.

I live in Atlanta so it does not appear to be a cold issue.

If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please let me know.
I was told the same thing today. Mainly because I have a supercharger. I explained that I'm not making boost or any added power leaving a light and driving at normal RPMs. It's a procharger (centerfugal) by Ripp, and it's got the dealers eye. The service rep said not to take it to another dealer for fear it could be flagged. She also said they'd have a tech take it around the block tonight. It pops out of gear 3-5 times a day. Hopefully they see it to and take action; they've only had my Jeep for 2 weeks now!

My 2010 started at around 300miles. Took it to my dealer and they replaced the entire tranny. They said it is a known issue. Search this subject and there is a a tsb bulletin number
