:( gt gearbox 5th gear problems

[Lawless]

This week 5th gear has started popping out and going back into neutral was wondering if anyone knows what causes this if it's worth repairing or changing the box

Thanks

Hi

This has happened to my box also, i think its a common fault on these boxes. I believe its usually down to a worn 5th gear selector in the box. I have been wondering my self if i shoud repair it or just buy another 2nd hand box for £100, but its pot luck then what your buying.

Either way the repair will be hundreds, if thats worn then other part will be too, how are the syncros on yours, does it crunch going into any other gears?

I would say the only gear that crunched was 5th and that was only when changing at high speed rest of the box feels ok I'm so gutted just had a low mileage engine fitted aswel now this

Not sure if it would be just as cost affectI've to swap the whole gear box cheapest I can find is 200 quid and it's miles away
