    Has the gear selector rod been bottomed out and moved at all? Might need adjusting mine kept popping out of reverse.. Adjusted and all was well.

    If it feels like it's selecting second nicely then as mentioned it could just be the engine mounts or the gearbox is about knackered

    Wouldn't surprise me if it was the box as first and second always get the abuse
