Hello guys. I have a s52 engine with speed transmission. Maybe you someone here has experienced the same problem and knows a solution. While driving after shifting into 5th, I let go of the gas a bit and 5th gear pops out. What could be the problem here? thanks in advance for those of you willing to help...

Sounds like it's time to do your shift pins and detents:
I just did mine while I had my ZF out of the car; very straightforward and the repair kits are cheap.

Detent pin. May as well do both at the same time. I did, ordered from Bluntipoo. About a $30 fix....much cheaper than replacing trans....
