| This used to happen to me in 3rd, it was just me not putting it in gear properly. Although if it happens all the time it could be worse (also does it happen to every one that drives it?) |

| my 5 speed is the same unless u change it properly, like a granny it will crunch in 2nd, it just means somethin in the gearbox is fucked, and u either need to get it rebuilt or buy a new gearbox, but if u push the gearleaver up when u have ur foot off the accellerator it will come out, that happens in any gear. |

| yeah all gear boxs are liek if theres not much throttle you can push it out of gear and if you mach the engine speed you can put it back in with out the clutch too its called dry shifting |

| yes, my 5spd just did this to me twice in the last few weeks too. it was rebuilt just 8000k ago. it is a bt embarassing when it suddenly revs its nuts off going up a hill. my rear seal is leaking a bit but I don't think its anything to do with a low oil level |
