Jumping out of gear

[Lionsroar]

Hi. Just bought an 08 plate fiesta Zetec Blue. Only done 38k miles. The problem I'm having with it is sometimes when I go to pull away it falls out of gear. Was only first gear at first so was using 2nd to pull away, now it's started to jump out of 2nd as I go to pull away. It's not happening alĺ the time. I got it from a dealer and have taken it back. They said they fixed it but couldn't tell me what was wrong as the mechanic has gone on holiday. I've had it back a day and its doing the same thing again. I'm ***** myself every time I have to pull away, worrying that it's gonna jump out again and I'm gonna roll backwards into a car behind me. Anyone else had the same or similar problems? Its only when i pull away, no problems when driving along.

When I have had this problem in other Ford cars its always been the gearbox needed repair it can be any gear but first and second was more common to me like you I had to actually hold it in gear eventually to stop it popping out.It may be adjustment but In my experience it never was that. Of cores I could be wrong lets hope so .What I would do is get it checked by a gearbox specialist who specialises in gearboxes only. That way you can take it back to the dealers with some real facts.  would think that if its a while you wait fix its not done right. Put the dealer under some pressure to get it done right. Isn't it annoying you pay your money then they don't seam interested when there is a problem.
