Hey everyone
99 POLO 1.4 with 135k miles
the car recently developed this issue that when i accelerate, in fifth gear, the shifter will pop into neutral. i have no issues with the other gears. i changed the gear oil to some fresh 75w/90 last week with no improvement. i didnt see and bits of metal in the waste oil either.
has anyone else faced a similar issue?
am i looking at a new transmission/rebuild?
tia

Re: Pops out of 5th when accelerating
The polos have a fairly specific gearbox. Have you tryed adjusting the linkage? What gearbox code have you got
Re: Pops out of 5th when accelerating
Normally I say gearbox overhaul did it ran with enough oil in cause when it pops out without any grinding noise I say adjust but I think I ran with to less of oil to cool and and lubricate 5th gear.
And other gearboxes do fit but polo mk4 or lupo arosa best thing overhaul the original one commen problem seal that leaks where the linkage goes in the gearbox

Re: Pops out of 5th when accelerating
You need the three letter code. 085 is the series but there’s a code like DXB stamped on the bottom of the gearbox which identifies it
