Re: 5th Gear Trouble

My 1st DSM popped out of 5th gear occasionally but unfortunately I never figured out what caused this. I was told at one time that there was a nut on the end of gear "spine" that would back off and cause this but IDK about 2Gs. Did you check the shift linkages to see if anything came apart?

Also, Welcome to AF!

Re: 5th Gear Trouble

Welcome to AF I'm thinking tranny synchros are normally the cause of the gears popping out.
