• Difficulty engaging reverse
• Metallic noise or grinding in neutral with the engine running
• Visible gearbox oil leak beneath the vehicle
• A floating sensation or a gear jumping out on its own
• Neutral feeling poorly defined between certain gears
• Unusual resistance when moving the gear lever
