do you have an aftermarket rear engine mount? I noticed it popping out of gears when I braked going down a steep hill, presumably from the movement of the engine/gearbox
Yep..MRT REM - definately noticed it alot more after having it fitted. It only happens when decelerating back through the gears...it is fine going up the gears.
Hope it's not a sign of anything sinister as this car is the most fun car I've ever had
Wonder if a set of Sure anchors or any other brand shifter bushes would fix this by eliminating movement in the shifter cage?
I've only every had it pop out of gear once and that was in first gear when the car decided to axle tramp like a bitch... It may be the momentum of the motor shifting forwards under braking and cornering, that 'helps' the gearing arm (where you put the short shift plate) move enough that it comes out of gear?
Are you running a short shifting plate or is it factory, are you on the accelerator when it happens or are your feet clear of the pedals?
Doubt it, the cage barely moves as it is, after i put sure anchors in i could hardly feel a difference, most of the slack is still within the gear stick movement and not the stock rubber bushes that attach the unit the car .

Least it popped out and not crunched! I crunched today for some really odd reason, WOT 2nd gear, clutch in, 3rd gear, clutch halfway out and crunch... Ne ideas?? This is only happened twice since i've owned the car for the last 2 and a half years. Sorry to steal thread!

Too much movement or incorrect placement of the mounts.
