Manual transmission reverse pops out of gear. Sunroof blew off and whipped behind into traffic while driving to work on highway 1 at 55mph.
Vehicle was rolling backwards when brake was applied while sitting on a hill at a stop sign. Jeep would not move forward when gas was applied it tried to roll backwards as if it were a manual transmission.
When at a stop, I put the car into first gear. A lot of times, not all the time, it will violently pop out of gear. I then put it back in gear, and drive away. I can avoid this by put it in to first gear as I glide to a stop, or by creeping the Jeep in 2nd gear and then go back to 1st. This has been going on for a long time now. The pop out of gear sounds and feels like my transmission fell out of the vehicle. I originally thought it was just my car, but after reviewing the blogs, noticed alot of other people having the same issues with their 6 speed manual Jeep.
