   It only usually happens when on the motorway cruisin in 5th gear. When I take my foot off the throttle the car slips out of gear
   
   Any ideas of what this could be related too guys?!

   Either loads of play in the bottom gearbox mount so when easing off the movement of the engine is pulling it out of gear or internal gearbox wear i would guess.

   This happened to me when I first brought my sax,
   
   It turned out that I needed a new gearbox
   
   Bearing in mind I did have other problems with the gearbox as well. But after the gearbox went in she hasn't slipped out of fifth at all.

   thats exactly what it does, feels like theres abit of a lurch then goes into neutral. Pulls strong through all gears usually, just only happens in 5th when I come off the pedal.
   
   just going to have to put up with it for abit longer because as always, theres more than one problem with it
   
   cheers ad

   I have exactly the same problem :/
   I'm not sure if it feels like it goes into gear quite as far as the others, but then i dont know if thats just me being paranoid about it, haha
   Hope there is a quick fix, otherwise, i'll just live with it
