[RESOLVED] 5th Gear Pops Out!

[ramirj10]

Hello guys i just finished replacing the clutch on my talon it shifts fine and everything but when im on the freeway 5th gear pops out when i let go of the gas. I also noticed it has a small movement on the shifter assy like if something was a little loose it did that before but it never popped out of gear. Any of you guys had this issue before? is so i would greatly appreciate the input......thanks.

Searching for the key word "5th gear" will also show you many threads with people having the same problem. You need to tighten the big nut on the input shaft.

Hello guys well just wanted to let you all know i did tighten the big nut and it looks like it did solve the issue thanks for all your help it simplified my problem tremendously. The only problem now is that while driving the car to test it on the freeway i it a small piece of metal and it made a dime sized hole in the transmission case damn just my luck... now I have to find a way to plug it up..

The funny thing about this problem is that when I just re-built my tranny over this spring, I never had any shifting issues with 5th gear. But when I started tearing the tranny apart, both the input shaft and intermediate shaft lock nuts were finger loose. The only thing keeping them in place were the stakes pounded in them....And they're supposed to be torqued to 109ft lbs. Got 2 new ones anway from the dealer. $7 and some change for each one.

This happened to me on multiple cars. Always the same issue, always the same fix, tightening 36mm nut and be sure to indent groove as much as possible. My first instance of this happening, I just tightened the nut, it came loose a week later. Long chisel + 2lb sledge hammer and it hasn't happened since.
