30 Mini - 5 speed pops out of 1st, 3rd and 5th gear when I let off the gas - is that a linkage or internal transmission problem??

Question edited for clarity. Funky one space then punctuation :>D
Question moved to sub category.

Check out the videos on servicing the gear linkage. It contains plastic connectors. Personally, I would give a local transmission specialist the job.

check the linkage on the end of the gear shift,

Does that transmission have external shift linkage? Sounds like a linkage broke or the neutral gate is way off.

If you have inspected the shift linkage and found no missing or loose parts, then unfortunately an internal shift mode fork, syncro assembly,shift rail or possibly a snap ring has been damaged. This is not an easy fix on any vehicle and will require transmission removal to diagnose. Before the trans is removed, inspect the shift linkage while someone moves the gear selector to all gears. This would be the best case scenario, internal damage, of course, would be the worst.

possible selector linkage adjustment , loose or shifted

It is a 5 speed manual transmission? If it is noisey in all gears except for 4th, then the problem is countershaft bearings.

Hi
Either a broken linkage or selector problem inside g/box.

It sound like the gear linkage isn,t set up right, you wouldn,t always be able to engage a gear unless you rocked the car.

there are dent and brass balls that are in your transmission and are used to hold the shifter into each gear when it starts poping out of that means that those dents and brass balls are worn down and i would suggest getting the transmission rebuilt.
