Gear stick popping out of gear

Galbin · 2018-08-20 22:04:09

This sometimes happens in my car where the stick will just pop back to neutral. Occasionally accompanied by a grinding sound. This also happened to me in a relative's car, so I figure the problem must be me rather than the cars. What could cause this?

Not putting the stick fully into gear. Push the stick fully home
