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.

second gear pop out for one.
I've heard of issues with the synchros wearing out. In fact, I'm having a little trouble with mine, especially when downshifting into 2nd gear. I haven't really heard of other issues aside from the pop-out issue that Maurice mentioned.
DARN "SEALED" PINION BEARING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pete
Yeah, I also have heard about the 2nd gear issue, but very little... Give us some more details for the car
