transmission problem in a 1998 cherokee
« on: May 03, 2010, 05:00:33 PM »
please help my 1998 jeep cherokee wont stay in first gear (its a manual transmission) the only way  i can get it to stay in first is if i hold the gear shift in first gear and slowly let the clutch it then pops or clunks into first gear. Could my problem be shift linkage or a messed up gear? If i just put the jeep into first gear without poping it in it just grinds and pops out. Any advice on how to fix my problem would be great.

Thanks.
