I have a 2008 wrangler 3.8 6 speed project that I am working on just installed a new caravan motor got it all running good finally started to drive it and it pops right out of first gear unless I hold it when accelerating. I looked up what others have said with no definitive awnser some say its...

Problem solved skanked connector near the brake booster caused all these issues I am convinced this jeep has been uder water few times lmaoo cleaned it up all lights went out on dash good to go so far knock wood.

I think i narrowed it down the the ignition switch going to swap it out when i turn it i noticed it has alot of play in it ect one time it wouldnt start other day I jiggled it and it started.

makes sense and yea my scanner can do that will check it out. Another thing to note when i got it the ABS light was on had to change 1 wheel speed sensor that all went away no codes for that anymore possibly related?

Yes it had no effect

I tried to look into them not a ton of info the old owner is gone so cant really ask them who or how it was removed. I am going to tear into the dash tomorrow will post with what i find. Also 1 wire going to coolant temp is a bit suspect near connector its just odd it reads with engine off and...

Another thing to note the previous owner had a alcolol interlock device removed 2 days before I bought it possibly related to my issue?
