So this is certainly not what I wanted for my first post......I've been lurking for several months mulling over a purchase, and finally pulled the trigger - picked up my billet silver 6spd Rubicon last week. It was ordered on 10/7 and I picked it up on 11/9, so an excellent turn around by FCA. Dealer experience was excellent - got ~4% under invoice and they gave me $2k more than anyone else on my JK Sport trade. So - I was a happy camper leaving the dealer and have been for the past week. It's a second vehicle, so I only have 197 miles on it. Took it out this afternoon to run some errands, and......it won't hold 4th gear. All others working fine, but when I shift into 4th and engage the clutch, it pops out into neutral. If I pull back on the shifter, I can keep it in gear - but as soon as I let go it pops out. There is also a noticeable vibration when I engage 4th that is not present in any other gear.
So - I took it directly to the dealer and they got it into the shop this afternoon, but no word from them yet. I'm really hoping for a simple issue with shift cables/linkage.....but I think I'm going to be disappointed. I scanned the web and found lots of references to issues with the JK tranny, but not much to go on with the JL/JT tranny.
Any ideas from the collective wisdom of the forum?
