Why my cars gear stick popping out from 1st to 3rd gear, from 2nd to 4th?
The car is Ford Focus 2002 1.8tdci. Poppong out from 1st gear to 3rd and from 2nd to 4th. Reverse works fine, I'm able to start to drive car from 3rd gear with balancing clutch and acceleration. No strange noises thou.
The synchro has gone.
Time for a recon box.
I would guess that gears are worn in the transmission; or perhaps the shifter needs adjustment.
Gears usually jump out for three reasons, you have worn or damaged gear linkages which are the cable that run from your gear stick to gear box and select gears, another is worn synchronizer units inside this is caused by you grinding gears and is unlikely to be the cause of them all jumping out. Worn selector forks are what push the synchronizers in place and are another unlikely fault for all gears, i would expect the gear linkages have probably worn so there's too much play you are taking up before selecting gear which prevents it being selected properly the linkages themselves can be picked up from around £40 although i'm not sure how much it would cost to have them fitted.

- I parked my 2017 Ford Mustang in my apartment parking garage on the 4th floor for 2 days with out moving it When I left it there I had more than half a tank of gasoline. When I returned to drive the car the gas tank was empty and the car would not start. There was no gas in there at all. Is there a mechanical answer for this?

- Ford Focus 1.8 TDDI was popping out of 5th gear now won't go into any gear! Is it Clutch or Gearbox? The car which is a 2002 was jumping out of 5th gear into neutral when travelling at 60mph. Now it won't go into any gear and I can only start the car with the clutch pedal pressed in and when I release the clutch pedal with the gear stick in neutral the car stalls. The gear stick will literally not go into any gear. I think I need to find a used gearbox and I think the clutch is fine. What do you think?
