Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ok here is a question for you guys

I have a 4.2L Petrol/LPG Patrol with the 5 Speed Manual

When decelerating and in 3rd gear, sometimes it will pop out of 3rd gear and go into Neutral. Only in 3rd Gear

Did a body lift to the car but i made sure that all the gears were right to go in.

If its something in the gearbox, what could it be? shifter fork?

And by popping out of 3rd i mean you can see the stick moving back towards neutral and then it just pops out. only when decelerating, not accelerating.

worn gears? or sync

could be fork, double check it make sure it dose fully go in ,

the old box might just need a service

worn syncromesh on 3rd gear - I assume it only does it on over-run?

Check for weak detent springs also in transmission top cover..

i vote sync....just did mine in the effie.

Yep when decelerating when at high rpm

When 4x4ing if in 3rd is stays there.

Ok decided i am going to have the Gearbox rebuilt.

Anyone know of a good place on or around the Central Coast, not worried about heading to Sydney or Newcastle area, just want to get a good job done for a good price.
