Detent Springs

July 21, 2004

Hi, just wondered if anyones replaced their detent springs in the gearbox of an ST162, and if its possible to do them with gearbox in situ ?

The problem I have is it keeps jumping out of 2nd, and 5th gear. Im just kind of hoping its a "relatively simple" (haha), so any further advise would be appreciated.

Cheers

yeh i have the same problem, but it doesn't pop out of 5th, just 2nd! when i put it into 2nd its fine untill i take my foot off the clutch and then it starts grinding the gears, but if i put a little bit of preasure on the gear stick in 2nd it will drive in 2nd....i just spent over 500 dollars on new syncros and bearings in the box and it didnt fix it! what can i do!? :crybaby:

hi yes i'm just discovering the same problem.apperntly its a flaw in our model. toyota apperntly has come out with modified rings to fix this problem. but if you've just had them replaced and its still doing it, thats not a good sign
