This issue just started occurring a few days ago. I have reason to believe that it may be related to the detent spring that holds 5th gear in place however I do not have access to the vehicle so am unable to inspect the condition of this detent spring (and ball) or the other.
The diagrams and video clips I have been able to locate have not been much help.
I am hoping someone on the forum might be able to forward me a picture (or diagram) that details exactly where the detent cover bolts are located, in particular the one that is responsible for holding 5th gear.

I would hope this issue may be easy to rectify and need to try this option before pulling the gear box out for repair or replacement.


Much appreciated.. Cheers John T
