Hey guys and gals,

not sure if the car is going to be written off or repaired at the mo, but in the event its repaired, i have a problem with 2nd gear, if i put it in gear and let go it just slides a few mm's and sits just out of gear and if i hold it at about 4k rpm it thumps (very violently), if im holding it in i can usually keep it in gear and after a couple of thumps (car jumping about also lol) it'll return to normal (as long as i hold it in gear so it doesnt slide out), this only happens in second, all the other gears are ok, anyone got any ideas? i think the old ladies in my village are fed up of almost redline in 1st then change to stalling point in 3rd lol :p
 
I think so....but can yu really be arsed going that fast? Its getting there to said speed that interests me!
 
Yeah whats all the written off about?

If your calling that in you sig "written off" then you can put it in my just opened scrapyard aka drive!

Have you looked at the linkages?

M8 try this had the same sort of problem on mine before.

Look under the car by the passanger footwell there is a gear box mount i had this problem before and found that the bolt had worked loose and fallen out.
Wwuth that everytime i tried to drive the whole engine and gear box would twist and this mount would bang the floor and the car would pop out of gear
