Hi guys, my el falcon wagon jumps out of gear at 100kph. most times it jumps back in almost straight away, sometimes i might roll back to 80kph before it engages again. Some days it happens when i go to drive out of my driveway first start of the day. It always seems to drop back in. Most times it seems to happen after i have been driving for a while, say 20 - 60 mniutes.

You will need to check the oil level first as if low it can do this, there is a 5/8" plug on the drivers side of the transmission, its near the exhaust at the rear of the trans, remove and oil should just drip out, if low add 95LE transmission oil, start here.
