Megane 225 - Popping out of second gear

Discussion in 'Mechanical - Engine, Gearbox, Exhaust etc' started by FlatFour, Dec 29, 2020.

  1. Hi All,

    I recently picked up a 225 Cup and have been loving the car so far (and the Quaife LSD fitted to it). However I took it for its first proper outing today and unfortunately it has a habit of popping out of second gear.

    It seems to only happen when engine breaking and heading downhill – it will go into gear perfectly but pop out shortly after. Generally only when driving spiritedly i.e going from 3rd to 2nd under brakes and doesn't matter if I heel and toe or not.

    No issues under power and otherwise the gearbox feels great.

    Is this a common issue with these? Any ideas what could be causing it?

    Hoping it's something like gear linkage, gearbox/engine mounts or gearbox oil rather than an internal gearbox issue – although all engine/gearbox mounts were changed by the previous owner and the car has just over 100km (60 miles) on the clock.

    Cheers,
    Sam
