Default Gearbox Query

sat waiting outside my girls house and i heard this loud rattling noise coming from front end of my motor. looked under but couldnt see anything visibly out of place of that.

as i drove down the road, 5th gear keeps jumping out of place.

whats wrong?

Sounds like 5th gear synchro has had it. Quite expensive to get fixed from a labour point of view, the parts are relatively cheap.

If your car is a UK model, get the parts from a dealer otherwise shop around the likes of Graham Goode etc. Not sure exactly what the noise is, its impossible to tell without hearing it.
