More info please. I to have a MT and would like to know what you mean by gear popping out? You mean that when you hit the gas it wasn't going anywhere and the gears aren't engaging right?

sry for keeping you waiting guys busy with school. it been happening since day one n the dealer didnt believe me untill the 5th time itook the car to the dealer. i was grind gears i high rpm. when i go into 2nd gear i had to hold it in or else it will come out. n listen to this when i was high rpm like in 5k to 6k going into 6th it will grind baddd and i dont treat the car bad and that me pressing the clutch down. so the dealer test drove the car like several times until it did it to them. they finally replaced my tranny =) guys i have to say im not losing power or anything n the gears are soo smooth drools never knew felt soo good togo into second gear XD. by the way they realize it was defective transimission the car came with. no it was a auto is250 - - blah! i wanted a gs but they were out - -

When you say "in 2nd gear i had to hold it in or else it will come out", you mean you physically had to hold the stick in 2nd gear to prevent the gear from popping out? How many miles do you have on the car? I too have the MT, am a little concerned.
