So i recently purchased a 2003 Rubicon from IG Burton in Milford De. The rig was in good condition with 64,000 miles on it and the only problem i could find was a noisy throw-out bearing.......... Well 200 miles over my 3000 mile warranty (45 days after the purchase). The transmission goes south and quick. Right now i can only drive in 4th gear with out hearing a horrible sound from 1,2,3 and 5. I called the dealership at first they said sorry about your luck. Then i talked to a guy in the service department and he was like well you can bring it in next week...... I was like really!!! At this point I'm pissed :upset:. I'm in Baltimore trying to figure out if i will make it home or not. The sales guy said the gentlemen who sold me the car was busy and he would call me back later. I replied I'm stuck in Baltimore. Two hours later i received a call back they said we will diagnose it for you but we can't fix it because your past the 3000 mile mark. At this point I'm pissed so i said OK i will see you tomorrow 
. I was able to limp back to Delaware at a snails pace but my transmission sounds like a baby's rattle. Is there anything i can do to get the dealer to pay some or maybe all of the cost. Were is the best place to find a used Rubicon transmission? Does anyone on the forum rebuild them?.... WTF!!!!

If your texting on an old style phone then I understand, but if your just too lazy to type then don't bother. Makes you look stupid also! Just my opinion!

Was the issue documented at the time of sale? Any manufacturers warranty left
-
no they said the didn't know about it. The sales guy said it was inspected when it came in. I'm not sure when the manufacture warranty ended. Its a 2003 with 67000 miles on it.

I don't know if it was transferable . I think it was -
Based on this website it looks like it is transferrable with a $50 charge for doing so. That being said, you'd be under with the miles and possibly under with the years depending upon when the Jeep was purchased.

I know I took delivery of my '03 TJ on Oct 30th, 2002...so even with 54K miles my warranty expired this past fall.

Ok so i went to the dealer and due to some problems they made in the paper work........... actually a big F@#$up
on there behalf. Needless to say instead of going to court the decided to fix the trans and give me a rental. -
Good stuff!!
