Get it looked at.
mine jumped out of 3rd and then 2nd as well, as the box needs to be lifted up through the middle of the landy, i didn't want to spend loads just to check and replace parts in the box. sometimes it can last 1000's of miles before it gets so bad you cant drive it, or it breaks.
the mainshaft broke after about 3000 miles, now having to fit a new box, decided on a new one instead of a recon one.
cheers

Slob; thx, good info.
Ciderman; sounds like mine! Definately needs looking at ASAP! My mainshaft broke, but it did leave me 1st and reverse to get to a suitable place off the road. I believe they're linked together.
Or ensure you have good breakdown cover.
Cheers, Mark
