In owners' own words
This report is regarding the nv3550 clutch chatter on my Jeep. I have been reporting this to various dealers and to daimler chrysler since I took delivery of the vehicle. I know many others with the same issues. Dc and dealers began by saying it was normal. Now there are rumors that there will be a tsb released on this issue. I am reporting it to you as suggested by a friend--mainly 'for the record.' Thanks. Power train
The transmission in my 2000 Wrangler makes noise when the vehicle is in neutral with the clutch released.The transmission and the transfer case have both been replaced and the problem is still ongoing.The transmission has also popped out of gear while taking off and during regular driving. The dealership told me that all the 2000 models make this noise and that there is no fix for this problem. Power train
Grinding / rattling noise coming from transmission area when clutch pedal not depressed and stops when depressed. Problem also worsens as vehicle warms up. This has occured and persisted since vehicle was first purchased. Took vehicle to dealer and was told that there was no problem. Transmission also becomes progressively harder to shift after vehicle is driven for a short time. Power train
