I was on my way to the Bristol Classic Car Show in... er! Shepton Mallet, today. I was going across the Mendips & was overtaking a couple of cars. As I put it into fifth, I had a lazy left foot moment & crunched the gears. For the last 5-6 miles of my journey after that, everytime I put it into fifth, it would jump out of gear as soon as I put any load on. but on my journey home the gearbox was fine. Any ideas?

Did you give it any beans on the way back or just gentle driving?

I recently mis-shifted and managed to make 5th feel like a slack 40yr old woman.

I decided to let it calm down, drive the car calmly for a good few miles and it's gone back into gear beautifully.

Think a fluid change shortly won't go a miss.

Yes, I gave it a few beans just to try & get it to jump out of gear again, but it wouldn't. Just wondered if this was the beginning of something major.

You have bent the shift slector fork on the mis-shift.

I did this and it wouldn't let me go into 6th.

I just had to be firm with it and it would.

after about 200 miles it was back to normal and then I changed the gearbox oil.

Never been better
