P1Andy Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Driving along today at around 40mph, went to select 5th, felt a bit dodgy and when i backed off the throttle it popped out of gear. When i select 5th gear it gives a little crunch like the synchromesh has departed and 5th gear still pulls fine if i hold the gearstick in place. But if i let go and take foot off throttle then it pops out again. Every other gear is still ok. Anyone have any suggestions as to what could be the problem? Looks like this weekend will be spent removing a gearbox Thanks in advance

colin_ross Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 As above. They're famous(infamous) for it on the phase 2 boxes. Only parts you'll need to fix it is a new locking nut , labour is whats gonna cost on this one.
P1Andy Posted May 30, 2008 Author Posted May 30, 2008 Thanks for the replies. Thats a few votes for that i have had in a few forums. Heres hoping thats the cause. Next question....Any hints and tips for removing the gearbox?
cullenmin Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 If it is just the nut then you will get off quite lucky. Worth a try. When you drain the oil, check for shavings of metal (or chunks), thats when it may indicate more than just a slack nut. Hope its just the nut though mate, save you a few pennies Rich
JohnSt Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Next question....Any hints and tips for removing the gearbox? Yes, don't forget the clutch fork retaining pin !!!
