Yes, I suspect the vibration from your wildly misaligned propshafts is causing it to jump out of gear.
 
You need more than new a new yoke and 'U' bolts, The straps are breaking because they're being overloaded. If the 'U' bolts are strong enoughto remain intact then the 'U' joint will be the next to break.
 
Go HERE for a good explanation of your problem and how to fix it.

My transmission is hard to shift, especially when it is cold. It ets somewhat easier when the motor warms up, but even then its hard. Any suggestions?

Your transmission may be filled with the wrong type of gear oil. I suggest that you drain it and refill it with the correct oil.

Redline MT90 (manual) or MTL90 (automatic) are good choices. So is Royal Purple.

5th Gear Burned Out? by ebess

I have a 98 4clyinder 5 speed and was driving on the highway in 5th the other day when the gear just went out. All other gears work but I get nothing in 5th. No prior problems with the transmission, replaced the clutch in December 07.
 
Have I burned the gear up or is there a possibility it's something else?

Whatever happened, it can't be fixed without removing and dismantling the transmission.
If there's no additional noise from the transmission the cost of parts will likely be minimal, but the labor cost will be the same whatever the cause.

Stuck in neutral by hank25

My son drives a 95 wrangler 4 cylinder 5 speed. When leaving work the other night he said he had trouble getting it to shift out of second gear. When it did come out, he said it "popped" out and now it is stuck in neutral and will not go into any gear. Any idea what the problem might be? Now he is driving his mothers car to work and she's not happy!

Like the previous one, if it's a transmission problem then the transmission will have to be removed to fix it.
 
However, it's possible that it's a clutch problem, with the clutch not disengaging.
Will it go into any gear with the engine off?

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Since I am not a mechanic by any stretch of the imagination, I have no idea other than pulling the tranny and having it checked out. I'm still hoping that someone can give me a good guess as to what's causing the noisy vibration when the clutch is engaged. I've been told by two service managers that it's nothing more than the gears meshing and that even new ones do it. My question to Chrysler would be "IS THIS JEEP QUALITY????" I had the ring & pinion replaced at 24,000. Thank God the used car dealer paid for that. Good luck with your son's problem.

mac24,
 
Tried what you suggested. It will go into any gear with the engine OFF. If it is just the gears meshing, it's just disconcerting that a vehicle with 27,000 miles (now) would seem to be such poor quality and makes all this vibration noise. Gee, having grown up in the muscle car era and having owned 3 GTOs, a 455 T/A, and a '64 Corvette, none of these cars ever had this problem.
 
Thanks again for your help.
