hey all. i have an 06 6 speed that pops out of second when coasting. when im on the gas its fine but as soon as i start coasting, it hesitates then pops out into neutral completely. from the information i've gathered so far, it could be the syncros but i'm not completely sure. i'm also wondering just about how much this will cost to fix.

If I were you I would just swap it for a used one. Mine is on it's last leg and that's what I plan to do.

do you have any idea how much thats going to cost? i can only spend around $2000

That should be more than enough.

Start getting quotes from your local transmission repair shops. It's usually cheaper if you source the part yourself and have it shipped or brought to them directly. Also, do a nationwide search on www.car-part.com for used units and the range of prices. I've been seeing them for between $500 and $1000. In my area, the labor for a swap is from $300 to $600.

I'm actually considering giving it a shot myself at a local DIY garage called Garage Yourself. Good luck!

Could it be bad motor
mounts causing excessive engine movements causing the cables or links to stretch and pop the car out of gear?

I've heard of that happening in other cars due to a bad transmission mount, never in a 6th gen though. But who knows, maybe someone else who has had this problem will chime in.

this is kind of off subject but is it normal for the clutch to grab way at the top? i've never driven any other manual 6th gens so i have no point of reference
