you need to replace the fork rubbing blocks or the forks as a whole. this is a kind of general info but try checking your linkage first. again this isn't delorean specific but a general info that goes for a lot of manual trannys.

Does anybody ever have any problem with there gears popping out while driving? I noticed this problem when I let off the gas 5 th will pop out of gear.It will only do this when you very quickly let off the gas, then you will have to put the clutch in and shift back in gear.I noticed that if you drive the same speed and don't let off the gas it does not pop out of gear?Also one other thing that might be the problem is that the shifter bounces when you hit the gas or let off of the gas. If anybody has any ideas or know what could be my problem please let me know Thank you e mail me directly bfreyguy@xxxx Brian To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderator@xxxx To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Your use of Yahoo!
