Munday Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Hi guys, im a regular over on TGTT and i often browse this forum too.On with the problem...Driving down the m'way yesterday, i come off the throttle and the gearstick moves back and pops out of 5th, was fine under acceleration at first but now does it under both acel and deceleration.Did a search on here but found nothing.From TGTT reading an old thread on there it was suggested it could be 1) selector fork 2) Synchro or 3)5th gear assembly. I cant see it being 1 or 2 because it goes into gear fine, no crunching or anything.Any help greatly appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Munday Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 Yeah i've heard its a common problem on the MR2s and its usually the 5th gear assembly, would just like some confirmation to be honest because i dont want to go out and buy parts that arent going to solve my problem.If anybody knows for sure or has and fitting tips it would be greatly appreciated!
