Saxo gears - BobbyG
I have a P reg Saxo, 1.5 diesel. One problem I have had with it is the fact that it will sometimes jump out of 5 th gear. It will never do it if you're accelerating or cruising, it only does it if, for instance, you are coming off a motorway slip road. Any ideas what is causing it and how easy/cheap it would be to fix?
I have lived with it for a year so its not "life or death" to get it sorted.

Thoughts?

Check the gearbox oil level first.

Might be weak syncro and or location spring - check our HR car by car breakdown - may be a known design fault. Had a Rover400 diesel with this problem - did over 100k ! this fault was corrected in the later builds.
good luck

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.

Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.

Real MPG

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
