ok here we go....im driving down the street and i stick it in 5th......im accelerating....i let off the gas, and go to accelerate again, and the damn gear popped out and was just resting in the gate, i could hear the gears touching and chattering and what not, but it just like fell outa gear when i did that. Any ideas on what the hell this could be? syncros? somthing? LMK thanks

Bent gear selector forks? Ball/spring/notch wearing out? I dunno; you've found my only weakness. I'd say if it happened only once, then don't worry about it. I've half selected gears before and gotten that gear chattery noise.

 

yea its like u just try to jamm the gear in with no clutch when ur sitting still, its not really loud tho, its like u get it in the gate and thats it, im not sure if i need a new tranny, or just to change my gear oil and be done with it, i got this really cheap shitty gear oil in there and i thougth that it might be my problem.....thanks alot tho

Shitty gear oil is the best. Coastal non-synth ruled my WRX. Coastal synth rules my 240sx even though I'm missing about 1/2 a quart.

Your tranny is fine if it only happens once in a while. When I shift fast, I can feel the tranny spit the shifter out of gear. As long as the gear works, I could care less about the engagement. Especially 5th.

 

it stays in when i hold it, but if i dont hold it it just spits it out on deceleration, i was just wondering if it syncros or somthin else.....dunno, thanks tho

might be a fault slave cylinder? or air in your clutch lines? kinda odd it only does it in 5th.. but epsetein is probly right its probly an internal problem

 

i'm going with bad syncro
