I have a 74 Series III, bought it new. When high revs in reverse (usually getting un stuck) it "pops" out of reverse. It's always done it, not really a big problem cause I don't usually need to use hi revs to get unstuck or have the need to go fast in reverse but I was just wondering, now that I can connect to other rover owners, if this is normal.

How violently is it coming out is if just sort of flopping out then renew the detent springs. There held in by 2 l shaped brackets and a brass nut on the top gearbox cover, nice easy job.
If its being forced out then there will be a fault with the box, you can remove the selectors and have a look inside for any damage to teeth etc but that would be a rebuild job.
