hey im having trouble with my gearbox in my buggy its a kombi 1800 box when i put it in second if im accelerating its alright but as soon as i back off it jumps out of gear all the other gears appear to be fine any idea on what could cause this or how to fix it?
First check outside influences ie loose or broken engine/trans mounts, does the linkage allow full engagement?. Does it try to jump out even when you lightly hold pressure on the gearstick, it sounds like worn dog teeth on second gear. New gears required, minimum second gear & slider, I'd suggest a new Albins first & second set.
If its a budget box & you only run std VW gears they are easy to get & cheap, same amount of work to install though, plus if the rest of the box is unknown there may be a few bearings & synchros etc'.
