alright so i have a 2012 rubicon unlimited with a 6 speed manual trans.. my question is for people that have a 2012 or 2013 manual does your jeep ever pop out of 4th gear ? for some reason mine wont go in 4 smoothly and if it does it tries to pop out at 1,500 RPMs.. then on top of that the clutch is starting to act really long as in the car wont move till its almost out completely.. anyone know why this might be ??

I AM NOT NEW TO MANUAL TRANS THIS IS MY 5TH STANDARD CAR AND HAVE NEVER BURNED A CLUCTH

Take into the dealership, have them look up a TSB related to the rubber/leather shift boot, Mine did it from day one until the dealership replace the boot.

it was very annoying and dangerous, It would even do it in 2nd.

Mine is a 07 with 88k on it. The clutch comes put pretty far before it grabs. But 6th gear 35mph and foot to the floor and it holds like a ....... Well it holds good. I don't know what the stock one is suppose to hold like but I test drove a 13 and the clutch felt like there was nothing behind it. Didn't like it. Mine jumps out of first every now and then. And after 2nd I can float gears. Sounds to me like there is something else wrong with the trany. Take it back and make sure to let them drive it. A clutch will not wear out to only let 4th not grab.

I have a 2012 for over a year and put 25,000 miles on it. Never once popped out if any gear.

Similar, 2012 jku doesn't smoothly shift to fourth. Wouldn't call it a pop or slip, just seems like it needs some TLC getting into gear.
