Default Jeep wrangler popping out of first gear on take off.
Very common problem on manual Jeep Wranglers.Popping out of first gear on take off is caused by the internal gear shifter boot inside the centre console getting in the way of the gear shifter and preventing it from fully engaging first gear.Very easy to fix from inside the car with only the gear shift knob and external gear shifter boot needing to be removed.Nothing wrong with your gearbox and no need to remove it from vehicle.Plenty of you tube videos show how to fix this.
