Nope. People who've gone to the dealer have been told:

1. Chirp, what chirp?
2. It's normal, get used to it.
3. We don't know what it is. We're looking into it.

Save yourself from looking at the TSB - the fix isn't in there. Some dealers may think that the TSB regarding the clutch load is the issue, but it isn't. The chirp just after shifting in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd is still not there.

It's not even a "shift chirp" exclusivily. Am I correct to say the chirp happens if you coast and then hit the gas as well? The jeep torques twice you get two chirps, three times.. three chirps.?

I even got in reverse the other day...

WHAT IS IT?????

JEEP ARE YOU LISTENING?

A few weeks ago there was a discussion about this topic on another jeep site with Jeep engineers, and they said something like "stay tuned". So, I guess its a pretty well recoginized problem and perhaps they are working on something.

Reading on the other JK board, many people have have their clutch redone, new trannys everything and the chirp either went away for awhile or its back..
