Hey mate, i had the same prob in my 33-

Basicaly not going to hurt your car but it will piss you off- something to do with the clips or someshit wearing them out that hold the top gears in place- Cost me near 2K to fix but that was replacing most parts in the box so basic full rebuild really.

Better to try getting a short shift kit see how that goes or buy a 2nd hand box.

should only pop out when you back off the throttle yeah?

Im under the impression that it happens a fair bit in 33's so unless you want to keep your car for a while i wouldnt bother getting it fixed. Thats my thoughts anyway.

Cheers.

bad synchros?.... i had this issue in my old corolla would pop out of 2nd gear if i didnt hold it. gearing down was interesting.... nearly break my hand of i i didnt keep the revs up haha... i didnt get it repaired but if yours is doing it in all those gears you should get it recoed...

check its not all the rubber boots around the gear stick doin it . just had a gtst that did that and that was all it was . gear stick/box didnt line with car properly either tho

thanks guys i went to a gearbox place and they said it should be just some screws that hold the top gears in. i took my gear stick out and drove it with out it and used a screwdriver to put it in 1st gear and see if it poped out but it didnt so i know its not my gearbox.
