hi all newbie here
i have had my fl2 for 2 weeks now and in the four weeks it has jumped out of a gear 5 times into neutral.anyone else had the problem or is it me not getting it right as its a new car with differant selection positions than my last car. any ideas.regards geoff

i presume your talking jumping out of gear whilst driving not stationary (ie cruise along to a roundabout with the clutch dipped)

Either way i haven't had experience of this happening, though i would have thought the loading on the gears cogs would have stopped it popping out without some sort of pressure like pulling on the gear lever with a resting arm Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

No, i've not had that problem either.

I know its an old thread but did you ever get to the bottom of this as Its just started to happen to me

Final outcome of the thread is unknown I think.

Im afraid this can happen with worn manual gearboxes.

Unless you are familiar the internals of the gearbox you will probably need expert advice. Jules

The chances of the OP or any of the other contributors to this thread are small. I’ve never had the FL2 jump out of gear. I’d be checking the cables running between the selector in the cabin and the selector quadrant on top of the gearbox, under the air filter box.
