POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION STARTED (NV3500) IS NOT SHIFTING SMOOTHLY INTO ANY GEAR. THERE IS RESISTANCE AND A GRINDING SOUND DURING SHIFTING INTO ANY AND ALL GEARS. TRANSMISSION EMITS A "CLUNKING" NOISE WHEN CLUTCH IS DISENGAGED BETWEEN GEAR SHIFTS. ON 11/06/2000, VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP RESPONSIBLE FOR WARRANTY SERVICE REPAIRS. DEALER CLAIMED THAT THEY ROAD-TESTED THE VEHICLE AND THAT ALL SHIFTING FUNCTIONS WERE "WORKING TO FACTORY SPECS". DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO PERFORM ANY FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THIS COMPLAINT AND DID NOT OFFER A REMEDY OR OFFER TO REPAIR. AFTER 2 MORE WEEKS OF OPERATION, THE GEAR GRINDING IS GETTING WORSE AND MORE RESISTIVE TO SHIFTING FROM GEAR TO GEAR. *AK

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
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.

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.

MANY OTHERS COMPLAINING OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE NVG 3550 MANUAL 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION.
