ever since I put the gstick back in it has developed an occasional problem of popping out of first gear when just starting to accelerate.. particularly on a hill start. this is REALLY annoying, as it prevents handbrake starts.
It pops out as soon as the clutch starts to grip... solutions?

If you are prepared to remove the gearbox from the car you can fit a new detent pring and that should fix it (if that is actually the problem).
BUT first make sure your gear stick boot is not pulling on the gear stick and that the gear stick is truly engaging the gate (it only need to be obstructed by a few mm to easily pop out, carpet in the way, insulation in the way, a tight gear stick boot may be causes).

its possible it may be the detent spring but when its happening under acceleration its also very possible and maybe more likely a case of first gear needing new syncros.
the shape of the teeth on a synchro ring is supposed to be like the shape of a house (imagine a square with a triangle on top) but as it wears it can sometimes taper so the tooth is closer to the shape of a triangle. so when you apply power and load up the geartrain it can pop out of gear

note: it only happens just as I release the clutch. If I hold it in place until the clutch is fully out and I'm going 5km/hr then mash the loud pedal it never pops out
