Guest DAZ_S16 Posted June 26, 2007 hi i picked up a 205 mi16 yesterday,and for most of the journey home it kept poping out of 5th,and also sometimes crunching into 3rd and 4th,would this mean a new gear box or clutch?or something else? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie-Van-GTi 71 2 Cars Posted June 26, 2007 Id start with new linkages and check the balljoint bolted onto the subframe is tight. If it still does it then you need a new gearbox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DAZ_S16 Posted June 26, 2007 it has new gear selector rods that should not come off which the guy got from miles,dunno if that would have anything to do with it??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hengti 2 Posted June 26, 2007 had this before; checked the linkages over and was then advised that it was the selector forks (i *think*) - new box was required Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KaspaCti 0 Posted June 26, 2007 Worth checking the oil in your gearbox. My CTi kept jumping out of 5th all the time when I first got it. When I drained the oil from the gearbox all that came out was about 200ml As soon as I refilled it to the correct level it was fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted June 26, 2007 Check the engine mount's, The adjustment of the gear-rod's and clutch but if it crunches in 3&4 the spring clip has broken inside the box Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pugpete1108 62 1 Cars Posted June 27, 2007 i got this on my proton compact gearbox at the mo, it jumps out of reverse when you apply any type of revs , i have just resigned myself to the fact that i will have to get greasy and wet and get under and change the box Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
