My 1999 Jeep Wrangler also pops out of 1st gear once in awhile. From what I have gathered it could be worn out linkage, a worn out syncronizer & springs, rubber transmission mount, or a worn out 1st gear itself. (Good time to also check the clutch friction disk). I changed out first gear on a British Triumph Sports car years ago, but don't really want to on the jeep .... George B.
The synchro for those two gears is bad

If a 2000 Jeep Wrangler suddenly loses power in 5th gear, it might be a problem with the speed sensor on the transmission. This sensor regulates when the Jeep will shift or should shift.
The front axle gear ratio for a 1997 Jeep Wrangler can vary depending on the specific model and options. Common gear ratios for this model include 3.07, 3.55, 3.73, and 4.10. It's important to check the vehicle’s specifications or the build sheet for the exact ratio of a particular Jeep Wrangler.
