This is why after nearly 300Kmi my tranny is moaning and groaning but NOT popping out of gear. I read early on not to rest your hand on the shifter... The tranny in my last square started popping out of first and wouldnt stay in reverse at only 140K... but the PO had a wife who was pretty uncoordinated. \ Keith > In my many years of rebuilding VW tranaxles, the usual cause is that the > shift fork is worn, and the slider is not engaging all the way.
