No difference from the batch you grabbed and the latest one that I made up. I just had more made is all.

For those who don't know about the dreaded 2nd gear pop out, this detent basically allows for deeper engagement of the operating sleeve to the gear face. This gives a better grip to the dog ring and help prevent pop out.

If there is too much damage already though, you will need a rebuild which I can help with too if you need someone to do it.

Feel free to give me a call.

My car had signs of 2nd gear popout/incomplete engagement occasionally...that of course didn't surface during my test drive.

I installed the 2nd gear popout prevention kit when doing the clutch/IMS/RMS and all has been well since. Great insurance.

I have noticed a little pop out from first to second on my 98 base 5 speed. Is there any equivalent for the 5 speed or another option besides a rebuild ?

A lift is certainly VERY helpful with this install. I did mine as soon as I noticed an issue. As above, mine would pop every now and then when cold for a shift or two. Works as described. I did have a slight issue getting it to fully seat as it was ever so slightly off line. It's got to be exact, and then by suction it got stuck and required some creative tool development to get it back out and properly placed. Worth the $$ IMO. As an added bonus while you are there, do your fluid as well.

I just found this thread... I am experiencing the same problem when it's cold I found it difficult to engage 2nd or sometimes pops out with gridding noise... From what I read I think that the detend should be the solution for me as well.. Are there by any chance any detends left?
