cherokee jumps out of first gear? help!
hi i have a 98 cherokee 2.5TD and it jumps out of first gear, i have checked the rubber gaiters round the stick but it still jumps out even with these removed? is the gear box no good or is there a simple repair or gate adjustment? anyone help?
Us noobs have to stick together heh... Sorry about bringing an old thread back but I am experiencing the same issue!
This is my second XJ with the AX-15 and I have searched for quite a while and can't find any solid solution or suggestion on how to fix this problem.
Every other gear works as it should and holds strong except for 1st. I can shift it into 1st with no issues and as soon as I hit the gas it will strongly pop out with a bang.
I read it might be low on fluid so I did a fluid change today with Redline MTL and made no difference. Also being cold or hot makes no difference.
Any ideas what I might look at next? Could the synchros be bad in just 1st?

It is not a simple repair, most of the time that means a rebuild.. I cant remember off the top of my head but 3 jeeps I know of have had to do a rebuild for gears not "staying in"
