Title: 1989 16v pops out of gear
Post by: Scooby__Doo on 06 November 2006, 16:53

Whilst driving on the motorway my 1989 16v gti pops out of 5th gear into neutral.  This usually happens when you put your foot down a litttle to overtake.

It has only just started to happen and the car has now done just over a hundred thousand miles.

Is this a common problem and is it easy to fix?

Thanks

sounds like your gearbox is low on oil, get it topped up sharpish before it dies!  Trouble is it may already be too late  :sad:
