Default 96 Jetta jumping out of 5th gear
Guys, my car has 206K on it. Tranny seems fine, but every now and then it jumps out of 5th gear. I'd be cruising at about 60mph, lightly on the gas pedal. Any ideas? Linkage seems pretty good.

Thanks

Check your linkage again and get a bushing replacement kit.

Reverse seem to be good. No clicking or grinding. I'm not too concerned about it, but don't want it to end up being something that develops into something more serious and leaving me standed.
