SINCE THE DAY I PICKED UP MY JEEP FROM THE DEALER IT HAS MADE A LOUD GRINDING/GROWLING NOISE WHEN IT IS IN NEUTRAL WITH THE CLUCH OUT. IT SOUND LIKE IT WOULD BE THE INPUT SHAFT BEARING TO THE TRANNY. AT FIRST WHEN THE DEALER HEARD IT THEY SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE A BAD BEARING TO THEM, BUT WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT FURTHER THEY SAID THAT THE NOISE WAS NORMAL. THERE ARE OTHER PROBLEMS WITH IT POPPING OUT OF GEAR AND HARD TO SHIFT, WHICH I HAVE NOT EXPERIANCED YET BUT DUE TO THE NOISE I SUSPECT THAT IS NOT FAR AWAY.

TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT STILL MAKES GRINDING NOISE WHEN IN NEUTRAL. IF CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED NOISE WILL GO AWAY. ALSO, STICK SHIFT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE AFTER HIGHWAY TRAVEL.
