That is something that can happen. Unless the differential is locked or you have a limited slip differential, this can happen. Normally the torque is distributed to the wheel with less traction or force against it. Seems backwards, but that is what it does offroad until the locker is engaged and equal torque is sent to both sides of the differential.
That is one reason our 2000 WJ Grand Cherokee had the Quadra Drive II, to help minimize that.
As far as your front axle goes, are you SURE you're getting it completely into 4hi or 4lo? Those levers can be a pain to get to where you need them to be and our 2000 was not easy to put in 4lo. Another dumb question, you sure your t-case has the front driveshaft installed? It can be removed with no ill effects in 2wd mode, but w/o it you won't be able to get power to the front in 4wd.
Improper fluids COULD cause the problem, but it would be a more long term thing. I use Redline fluids in my transmission, Mobil 1 in the transfer case, and a synthetic in my diffs (for my 97 Wrangler). Unless you need that specific additive for the Quadra Drive, you should be okay. I just don't know enough about those additives (I don't need em on mine since I have ARB lockers).

I have a brand new 2008 jeep unlimited and i am having the same problem of it popping out of first gear. There is no ryme or reason to when it does it it just does. i brought it in for service and they fixed the syncronyzation and 1st gear a week later it's still dumping itself out of gear randomly. I brought it back again and they are saying that theres nothing wrong with it. Has anyone else had this problem and if you did did you get it fixed?

yep. My 05 unlimited rubicon pops out of first and third occasionally. BlueBonnet Jeep in New Braunfels Texas worked on it once and found a bent shift fork, replaced it but the problem persists. I had to basically 'bother' them before they worked on it a first time. It has been in at least a dozen times since. BlueBonnet Jeep in New Braunfels Texas claim they can't duplicate the problem yet they have in the past. There is another posting by another person with the same problem we have. Service advisers (Danny) at Bluebonnet Jeep in New Braunfels Texas and Jeep (the corparaton represenatives) strait told me I have the only Jeep that has this problem. My Jeep is still under the factory warranty and Bluebonnet Jeep in New Braunfels Texas still won t help. Where's the justice? I am going to visit with them again. Maybe there is strength in numbers or maybe we will be blown off. P.S. there are other sites with poeple that have this identical problem. This was my first blog.

This was my first blog also. Kind of getting frustrated with bringing it to the dealer and them telling me they can't duplicate it but like you they were able to in the past.last time they basically told me to push it into gear harder. Not really sure how thats going to help.I guess i'm just going to keep bringing it in until they get sick of me. If i make any progress i will let you know. I'm just glad i'm not the only one having this happen. Who knows maybe more people are having this problem and they just think they aren't putting it in gear all the way.

You will be bothering the wrong poeple if you keep taking it to the service manager. Take this issue strait to the general manager of the dealership where you bought and the represenative(s) for jeep in your area. Anybody else will be wasting your time. He should be intrsted in you as a consumer and your issues since jeep is blowing you off. Either jeep can' t figure out the problem to write a procedure to fix it or someone high enough up their corprate ladder hasn t heard there is a problem or they are sweeping this under the rug and we shouldn t stand for it. I've hit a wall at Jeep corperate but I keep trying. Don 't give up. We can probably contact the better business bureu and they may help fight this.

1991 4.0 Wrangler Transmission Problem
by vepr223

I purchased a 1991 Wrangler 4.0 a few weeks back with the understanding it needed a clutch. It has problems shifting into most gears (grinds into 2nd and 3rd). Before removing the trans it was suggested I try changing the fluid. I changed the trans fluid with DEXRON!! Only drove 50-60 mile on the Dexron with shifting becoming almost impossible. While the engine is off I can shift through all gears without depressing the clutch.
I now have removed the transmission and the clutch. The clutch looks relatively new. That said, I am taking suggestions. Should I go ahead and have the transmission gone through since I have it out or does anyone believe a transmission service with the correct 75W/90W and a clutch adjustment would have a high probability of success? Also, should the clutch still get replaced regardless of it's condition (groves still present on the pressure plate, disc looks great with a lot of meat left, and the flywheel still showing resurface swirls).
I am not exactly asking for a diagnosis as much as I am simply asking for opinions from the masses as to what the logical next steps should be now that the transmission is off the vehicle.

I don't usually recommend refitting a used clutch, but unless you physically damaged it during the removal or replacement of the transmission, or it's become contaminated with oil, it should be ok for reuse.
As for the transmission, it obviously had issues prior to running on ATF so there's no question that it needs overhauling. At the very least it will need new synchromesh rings, and quite possibly bearings, selector forks, maybe some of the gears, and definitely seals and gaskets. You may want to consider an exchange remanufactured unit. Your transmission should be an AX15.

Thank you for your response. I become impatient and want to get it on the road ASAP but I also don't feel like wrestling the transmission off the vehicle again. Do many or most transmission shops do rebuilds or repairs on transmissions removed by the customer?
