I think perhaps Alan is being a bit overly simplistic on this one. Though
the detents play a major role, so too the detent balls within the sliders
for 1-2 and 3-4th. These all loose their effectiveness when the thrust
bearings wear and allow excessive thrust under acceleration and deceleration
and easily overcome the balls.

Thankfully replacing the detente balls and springs is easy and pretty
cheap to do.  Just order them from your favorite supplier and spend an
hour or so ripping the tunnel out to get the gearbox cover off and
back on again with the balls in place.
