   the rubber bush at the end of the linkage is prob worn or else the linkage is bent quite common on saxos have a look at these first.

   it'll just need a new linkage piece of piss, and no quickshift wont help it uses the same linkages.
   
   afaik its the top linkage biggest one for second gear maybe wrong. there is three

   it could be the linkages or the rubber ball, both of which are an easy fix, but if not it could be the syncro on 2nd, it depends when it does it, if you accelrate, then lift off and it jumps out its likely to be the syncro.

   as above id first check linkages for wear, if there alrite it will most likely be the synchro for second in the box

    pretty bad yeah, it means you will need your gearbox reconditioning, or at least stripping and a new 2nd gear syncro, so a couple of hundred to get fixed

    hope it aint them, probally bang a new box on if it is that, been told a 106 xsi box is good for the vts better ratio of the mark or somethin? lol
    
    Cheers for the help lads

    the only trouble with replacing the box is you dont know the history of it, and the same thing could just happen again, the xsi box would be good for acceleration, but the revs will be higher on the motorway, so if you do alot of motorway driving, id just stick a vtr or vts box in.

    i do motorway and a-roads mainly, is ther any difference between the vtr and the vts box? better acceleration would be good lol

    the vtr and vts gear clusters are the same, but the vtr box has 61 teeth on the diff and vts has 63, thats the only difference, i would say its not noticable on a road car but may be wrong.
