lonnie Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Over last several days 81 brat has started popping out of 2nd gear. Is there an easy fix or is the easy fix a replacement gear box. i am assuming the cost to go into the box is cost prohibitive? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenaissanceMan Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 if your transmission/engine mounts are broken in the correct manner it can cause your car to pop out of gear. My car will pop out of 1st and sometimes 3rd when I am engine braking because both my transmission mounts are broken. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
