Loose gear selector - 2003 Suzuki GZ 125 Marauder

check for broken selector cable, linkage or pivot for the gear lever if direct into the top of the box
in gear selectors that are direct into the top of the box , the regular failure is the pivot pin in the turret comes loose and will not allow effective gear selection

5th and reverse gears are on the same selector rail. It is possible that the selector fork has come loose for the 5th gear or reverse. Remove the gear lever turret section of the box and see if the selector rail is moving gears or the rail itself.

wear or play on the gear selector drum,could even be the gear selector plate on the end of the drum is loose its star shaped with a central bolt or screw,check the locator spring also.

Gear selector is broken.

IF a cable selector check for missing pin or broken cable or loose outer cable. If mechanical selector check for broken arms or rods

have a friend move while you see what is hapening underneath. I suspect the control is loose on the box and is moving slightly when the lever is mover. Retensing the bolts may help.

It did, if it is calble controlled then the cable broke from either the gear selector under the dash or on the transmission . 3 places it breaks at 1 the gear selector under the dash or the center console, connection came out or broke 2. on the transmission gear selector area there is a bushing that it connects that breaks off, 3. inside the transmission, the prawl got loose (rare but happens)

your problem with the gear selector is in the item 25 these are 2 plastic bushings that wear out and cause the gear selector feels loose, you should also check the item 27 this item has one or two screws loose and cause the gear selector feels loose

VECHICLE JUMPING OUT OF GEAR.CHECK FOR WORN OR IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED LINKAGE.THE INPUT GEAR BEARING RETAINER BROKEN OR LOOSE.CHECK SHIFT LEVER GATE SELECTOR CABLE BOLT FOR LOOSENESS UNDER THE SHIFT LEVER BOOT IF BOLT NOT LOOSE THE GATE SELECTOR CABLE NEED ADJUSTMENT.

I can think of two possibilities. 1) The gear selector needs a slight adjustment 2) the bulb for the gear selector is loose or loosing it's ground
