Clutch going into neutral after sharp turn

[Rick1008]

Anyone experienced the car going into neutral after taking a sharp turn? It's happened to me twice. Cars still shifts fine during daily use...

Check the operation of the bonnet sensor; it will drop out of gear if it thinks the bonnet is open. Maybe it moves just enough on sharp cornering.

Newton mate, thanks for the tip. How do I do that?

Rick ,
If its not any the pin switches on Bonnet or boot , it's more likely to be the gearbox actuator bleed screws sometimes go loose .

Unclip the bonnet pogo switch and continuity check it, pretty sure it will be open circuit extended in which case you can Bridge the connector with a jumper. Road test it and see if you can still replicate the problem. If not it is a simple fix. As Marios says it could be the actuator bleed screws and I’m sure he can advise you there.

What a coincidence - mine did that yesterday - but not when cornering - once when going down a hill, without my knowledge, it slipped into neutral. Then on the return trip when I changed down to go up the same hill, it went into neutral. So I await with interest further comments.
