Truck jumps out of gear?!

Post by 6x6 Dinosaur »

Yesterday I took my truck out for the very first time on the public roads( and thank God they were back roads) to get fuel but I found out that the truck would pop out of gear on downgrades and I have yet to really learn any downshifting but I either put it back into the gear it was in without the clutch or put it in to fourth with double clutching but I noticed it would do it in any gear but mostly 3rd and the shifter has a tiny amount of play in it that I think is enough to be causing this but I need to figure out what It could be.

It was doing it to me in third but I think it did it to me in second once as well but I don't really remember that but I know it was third gear.

You have some serious problems in the tranny (Like you didn't know this already...). It could be the cover with a problem with the rails, but I suspect a bad bearing or something like that inside allowing something to get out of alignment

Great! Well I'm out of money at this point to do anything and I'm supposed to put it in a community 4th of July parade and I have to take it tomorrow to get "dressed up" for said parade so I will take more notes on it and see what it does since it can't be fixed this close to the fourth.
