2008 LUV DMAX, popping out of 5th gear. Posted by manual-mecanica
Greetings, I own a 2008 LUV DMAX 3.5 gasoline engine, with low mileage (2000 km), and it has repeatedly slipped out of 5th gear while accelerating at a constant speed between 100 and 130 km/h. Could you offer any guidance? The truck is practically new; it was stored from 2008 until recently, when it was acquired and first used. Thanks to anyone who can provide any information.

Check if it really has low mileage. The most I can think of is that the 5th gear synchronizer is stuck to the pinion, allowing the gear to jump out. If so, you should change the oil. Remember that LUVs use engine oil in the gearbox, otherwise they'll seize up. Also, repeat the operation of shifting into and out of 5th gear while stopped, but making sure it's under effort a few times. That's all I can think of
