Hey Guys! Since yesterday I've got an unusual problem! At a traffic light, as it goes green, I push in the clutch, engage first gear and as I slowly bring up the clutch pedal the shifter (tranny) pops out of first gear and makes a bit of a grinding sound as if the gear teeth are just touching each other until a mash the clutch back down. If I hold the shifter firmly forward in first gear it doesn't "pop-out". Anyone have this before? Is it a shifter linkage adjustment that isn't sliding the 2 gears fully together? thanks Pete

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Sounds like you got it, the cable/shifter adjustment. When a hub pops off, it is either the slider hub is worn (from too much grinding) or it is simply not engaged enough. I bet the latter since you never have grinded before.

+1.... never heard of a 1st gear pop out on the tranny end.
Thanks guys, I'll check it out on the weekend! Pete

Hmm, I had this on a Triumph. I did the gearbox rebuild and 1st was worn... I hope for the adjustment though.
