Re: jumping out of gear? (hsd16vdub)

hey you need to take it to your dealer bc theres a little piece of plastic to space out the gears to keep you from going into two gears at the same time and its connected to a rod. the rod or the little piece of plastic are twisted. it takes about a week to fix at my dealer bc they suck but to avoid it a second time make sure the clutch is pushed all the way in while shifting and double click shift. NO POWERSHIFTING until you get a short shoift kit

Re: jumping out of gear? (ntrldub)

no its not that we've had a few people take it for a drive and the same thing happens. when the rpm's get to low in too high of a gear and your off the throttle when u step back on it the cars out of gear and just revs up. new motor mounts and tranny mounts are being installed now and ill tell him about the rod and plastic peice , thanks 4 the info guys http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
