dannymoville23 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 my gearbox has been knocking itself out of 5th gear alot, it seems to be doing this when im just driving along normally, not driving fast , its very annoying and quite dangerous as it has popped out when traffic is behind me, any suggestions as to what may be wrong?, the gears dont crunch or anything, it just pops out of fifth.

dannymoville23 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 cud anyone get me the part number for a 5th gear synchronizer? was on toyodiy and not sure what im looking for : here where ive been looking: http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/p_J_1997_TOYOTA_STARLET_EP91-AGMQY_3305.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 It's not the synchro it's the 5th gear selector arm that's bent. Can still be got at from the end cap on the gearbox and is probably less work than the 5th gear itself Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dannymoville23 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Ok mate thanks, I will soon know for sure when the mechanic looks at it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 It's a common problem on old corolla gti's people resting on the gearstick when cruising in 5th Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dannymoville23 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 The thing is I bought the car then it started popping out of gear a week later , wud hard driving and constant abuse not contribute to worn selector forks too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Yeah it will. But that's the main cause of it lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dannymoville23 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Is a glanza s gearbox the same as a glanza v and also what about a standard starlet non turbo box cuz I know sumone who has one that's done 40"000 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beastmode panda Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Non turbo box won't fit dude, gearbox mount is in a different place iirc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

andauos Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Ive had 5th jumping out. Can cruise in 5th but just not under load. Ive replaced the selector fork, syncro, hub and got new powerflex gearbpx and engine mounts. Just come out the garage and theres no change. Its doing exactly the same. Any ideas? Unless im just cursed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
german4efte Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 sam problem likehttp://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/82855-5th-popping-out-still/ syncoros are needed to put in the gear, to slow down different rotations from gearwheels. the syncors do noting more ! to hold the gear in position, my post at other topic. I hope its a little understandable. My english is not the best Quote Link to post Share on other sites
