Is it normal for shifter to slip out of gear and back into w/o pressing down on the clutch?

I find when I am in 3rd, it can slip out easily and back in easily.

That's never happened to me. Does it grind when it does that?

 

You must be playing with it a lot. I can see slipping out but back in without grinding is amazing.

 

No grinding...maybe once or twice.....but it can easily slip out if i move into N and then back into the gear.

Happens at certain speeds and RPM's. I try not to do it as much, but it's becoming a habit.

Would it ruin anything?

 

it happens to me too. it slips back into N from 5th really smooth... dont know if its harmful because i dont do it on purpose. i doubt it can be good.

 

i think for sure...that with 3rd and 4th gear...it will slip out...with some pressure to it...but back in without rev match..and no grind...i dont know about that

 

i had mine slip out of 5th the other day but it didnt make it into another gear and hasnt happened since..
