I have a 2000 bessacarr 795 on a Ducato 2.8idtd had fifth gear replaced about 20000 miles ago all has been fine noticed this trip when taking foot of throttle and back on again in 5th the lever jumps a little have not had this till this trip all other gears ok it is not jumping out of gear wondered or hoped it might be gear linkage rather than gear any ideas. love the van had great travels over last 40,000 miles any idea`s
 
I have had it when the snap ring on 5th gear has come off or not sitting correctly. 5th gear starts to jump. The problem you get with this is exactly what you have described.
 
thanks for that what was the remedy ie a big garage job!

Long journeys in 5th can starve the 5th gear of oil solution by fiat was to overfill the box. 5th is very easy to inspect as is outside the box, remove the pressed metal cover.

That bessacar is a bit of a behemoth later models had the option of a shorter 5th gear for heavy loads I wonder is there one for your box.
