im having trouble changing into 6th gear SOMETIMES. sometimes it feels like it goes in and then it pops out and i struggle to get it back in, i have to go back into to fifth and try again. sometimes it doesnt even go into 6th and i can feel the cogs catchin each other- can be scary at high speeds - ive never had it happen at low speeds by the way.
any help is grateful thanks

Re: 6th Gear
Could be worn dogs on the gear or maybe worn selector fork.
Possibly something wrong with selector drum/ or selector shaft and or mechinism

Re: 6th Gear
Adjust your gear lever slightly, might make things better

Re: 6th Gear
