Re: [mk2-16v] tranny popping out of fifth gear, can it be mounts or linkage?

2016-05-29 Thread Holland Phillips 
Until you figure out exactly what's going on, I strongly suggest that you
don't use 5th gear. It may be your shift linkage needs a rebuild, and
possibly engine and transmission mounts. If that's the case, the
transmission may not be going all the way into 5th, and allowing it to pop
out of gear could cause internal damage.
The other possibility is that there's already an internal problem with the
gearbox. Either way, it sounds like you need to deal with linkage and
mounts. If it still pops out of 5th, then your problem is internal. But at
least then once the gearbox internals are sorted, you won't be likely to re
damage anything.
