Default Gc8 box issue.

I have a box issue, when I put it into 5th it goes in but if I apply throttle it Pops the shifter down and slips back to neutral. Off throttle it pops up and stays in 5th.
Also getting into reverse is a mission, and from reverse into any other gear takes a minute of playing around.
I'm on a 4.44 short ratio box from a 3.9
also just changed the clutch from a button to organic.
Wes suggested that I might need to adjust the clutch but I'm unsure on how to do that
Cheers

ANOTHER broken box?

FFS learn how to drive a WRX!

Clutch is hydraulic and self adjusting.

+1 another bent shift fork to add to your collection.

There's only 1 person on these forums having continual gearbox issues....suggest revision of driving style unless you have cash to burn.

Could of bought two 6 speeds for the same price of all the 5 speeds you've gone through.

Id say its the selector hub / teeth / fork.

Shutup rossco, I have barely driven it!
Done 500km on it, if that!
And how do I bend a 5th fork? It's bullshit
