2003 renault laguna dci 6 speed gearbox jumping out of3@4

[storeton]

jumps out of 3rd and 4th why?
any hints or tips especially how to remove offending box?

Could be cable adjustment or gearbox wear.

not usually that lucky,always expect the worse and happier man if not!

Just 3rd and 4th will share the same cable/linkage, so you might be in luck. If you have to replace the box, consider before you start total cost of repair. What miles are on the clutch/flywheel. Obviously you are going to tackle it yourself, so a secondhand Haynes manual off E-Bay (no good going mad) might help.

Can you hold it in 3rd and jump 4th straight into 5, it will work out cheaper if its not external.

4 good forward gears, plenty for any car ................

won't hold in3/4 nasty grinding noise
have located gearbox with new clutch/flywheel £275???

£275 sounds good, though a gearbox change is a big job. Give yourself plenty of time and get a mate to give you a hand, if you can.
