Hi, I have a 91 240sx 5 speed. I changed the transmission fluid today with redline mt90 and now the ****fting feels much improved, but now a new problem has arised. When I'm cruising at say 40mph and leave it in 4th, it'll stay in gear but popout like 10-15 seconds later. I've tried all the gears and seems only the 4th gear is having this problem. What could be the problem? Could it be the synchro? :help

what about when you slam your brakes in gear, does it pop out then, cuz it could be your transmission mount. A broken mount will cause tension and it will do what your saying, just something to check.

No it doesn't popout when I slam the brakes. Just does it when driving normal.

hm, it could be many things. check the transmission linkage and shift lever arms, clutch pilot bearing, synchro inserts and springs, and play in the countershaft and mainshaft.
