I have had my 93 Jeep Wrangler for about two years. I have just replaced the clutch about 4 moths ago. Now when I go to shift into fifth gear it go in but, if I have to coast to slow down I pop out of gear.
My brother had a 95 Wrangler that completely lost fifth gear. Will this happen to mine? What could be the problem & how much to fix. I was hoping to get rid of the Jeep in about 8 months and don't want to have to pay another 1,200 bucks to fix the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

check your clutch linkage. is your jeep lifted at all??? if it is i bet $1000 it is the clutch linkage.

I have a 1995 Wrangler. 5th Gear has been out twice. Both times the same reason. The retaining clip that holds the gear in place breaks and the gear floats down the shaft out of range to engage. It's a $3 part to replace, if you can save the gaskets when you take the tranny apart. However you have to remove the tranny and split the case to get at it. You can buy a kit with all the gaskets and syncronizers for $130 off EBAY, but it doesn't have the retaining clip. You can buy the clip for $3 bucks from a jeep dealer. This should be a recall issue for Jeep. Most the 5 speed trannys on EBay have the same problem. Your problem could be simpler. There's a spring loaded retaining ball that's accessable from the outside of the tranny that holds the shifting forks in place. When they get worn, the gears can spin out to their neutral position.

I have a similiar problem, while it doesn't do it all the time... sometimes i'd have my hand of the shifter and i'd just pop out of 3rd gear, then the gears grind of course.
