"Since you seem to know your way around the mechanics of an automobile, I suggest you plan on repairing your 5th gear pop-out problem with a 5th gear pop-out kit and while you're in there doing the repair you should look for anything else that's amiss. I wouldn't get another transmission unless absolutely necessary. Keep in mind that when you lose 5th gear like that it's likely that 4th gear and 3rd gear are getting very close to destruction as well so check them closely when you disassemble the transmission."




I've done plenty of 5th gear pop-out replacements and never have I seen any trouble with 4th or 3rd or any of the other gears as well. There is no reason at all to suspect they would be in trouble. It doesn't hurt to check though. Just see if their dog teeth look to be in good shape.

Haha, thanks Ben. That was kinda what I was curious about. I hadn't really heard of 5th gear pop-out causing issues to 3rd and 4th before, so I was confused.

I'll be taking it apart tomorrow, we'll see what kind of carnage we've got there.

The only reason 3rd and 4th would be taken out is if you put the car in 5th and hold it there with your hand. That will beat down 3rd and 4th.

Got a new transmission, but need to replace the driver axle. What would be the best parts store to get it from? I'm concerned about quality and fitment...
