I'm new to this, but not quite sure what to do. I have a '98 1.9tdi t4 that's done 200,000 miles. Recently, when in fifth gear it would slip out of gear. Now when you put it in fifth gear it acts as if its in neutral. Is my gearbox knackered or could it be something minor. The problem is i've just moved to France Bordeaux and no one wants to have a look at it. any ideas please

I currently have the same problem with my T4. When been running for a bit it keeps dropping out of 5th gear. Did you find an answer to the problem? Cheers, Ben

I have just bought a 1.8 CL and i also have the same problem with this. I havnt as yet found the solution but somebody has said it may be something to do with the 'gear selector' i don't know much about cars yet. Does anybody know anything that can help?:1zhelp:

Sounds like a little spring that pushes a ball bearing into a notch on the selector shaft has gone weak causing it to pop out of gear.
