I've heard of issues with the synchros wearing out. In fact, I'm having a little trouble with mine, especially when downshifting into 2nd gear. I haven't really heard of other issues aside from the pop-out issue that Maurice mentioned.

Yeah, I also have heard about the 2nd gear issue, but very little...

Give us some more details for the car
