Top gear isn’t engaging properly- the top gear dogs feel like they aren’t engaging very far and it jumps out of top. There are no ominous noises and it seems worse hot than cold. Anyone got any ideas before I strip it down. My guess is it’s to do with the gate change mechanism rather than the box itself, so I might start by swapping that with a ball change that works on the other cars.
As you observe the first test is to diagnose the box or lever as the source.
I had a gearbox that would jump out of gear with a gate change top, but was fine with ball change. I don't have enough experience to know if that is a common diagnosis or a one off.
