Six problems related to transmission noise have been reported for the 2000 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The contact owns a 2000 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 15 mph, the vehicle started to make an abnormal knocking and bucking noise. After inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the transmission mount was rotted away from the frame. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer and was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000. The VIN number was unavailable.
Jeep Wrangler nv3550 manual five speed transmission noise. At 20,000 miles the transmission made irregular noises that Chrysler claims are normal. Now, just as the warranty is running out they claim these same noises are a failing transmission that needs repair at the cost of $2000.
Transmission pops out of 1st and 2nd gear. Transmission very noisy while idling in neurtral. Noise stops when clutch is depressed. Noise is worse when transmission is hot. Dealer replaced transmission which corrected popping out of gear problem but new tranny is still noisy when idling in neurtral.
A rattling/grinding noise comes from the transmission when in neutral. When brought to the dealer, they replaced the throw-out bearing. Noise reoccured 2 days later and was brought back to the dealer. The dealership claimed they spoke to the engineers at the daimler Chrysler manufacturer and the engineers stated that the noise was due to a manufacturing design change of the transmission in the 2000 Jeep Wranglers and that they used a new transmission oil which is thinner and when the car warms up the oil becomes even thinner and causes the rattling. The dealership also stated that the noise is normal.
Transmission kicks out of first gear when begining to accelerate. Also, makes noise when in nuetral.
Tranmission sticks in 2nd gear when engine is hot. Also transmission makes a rattiling noise in neutral. This is a brand new car and has had this problem since I purchased it. The dealer(not the one I purchased it from) says it has no knowledge of any problems.
