Post by laura79 »

not the mount, it sounds like it has too much end play in the main shaft

This is a common problem with older transmissions - the synchronizers are worn on 2/4. You have to remove the transmission to repair this. Is it possible these were not serviced when it was last repaired?

You've already done it. If it is jumping out of gear then he did not replace "everything"

Something strange today...I went under car to see what are transmission condition,nothing wrong...then I took off shift leather boot to change inner boot...but I had not more time and I reassemble anything... then I drove the car and....second and fourth not push out but my fifth gear did...I had to push it and hold. It happened few times and then it work fine and for now second and fourth don't go out...
