ishan 5 Posted August 5, 2008 I have a 1992 205 GTX 1.4. I bought it with on the understanding that it pops out of 2nd and 4th gear under acceleration. A garage prior to my purchasing advised that it would be a worn syncromesh and that replacing the gearbox would be the best bet. Changing the gearbox I still have exactly same problems with the new one. What could be the problem? Please help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrod 7 Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) Knackered engine mounts. Engine tilts on acceleration and it pops out of gear. Edited August 5, 2008 by Jrod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andychalmers 0 Posted September 23, 2008 generally they pop out of 2nd gear on sharp corners on hard acceleration even with good engine mounts. The engine & box seem to move & pulls on the gear linkage thus pulling it out of gear. Check engine mounts as suggested then fit a 3rd engine mount to the top drivers side mount next to the other 2 (so engine cannot move sideways) problem solved.

AdamP 0 Posted September 24, 2008 I had a problem with my RG popping out of gear on hard 2nd gear corners once or twice. Fitted uprated engine mounts and a gearbox stabiliser bar from TI motorsport and now all is fine and dandy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
