Gearbox Problem (URGENT)

Hi,
I have a question about my gearbox.I changed the oil in my gearbox last week and rode it on sunday and it performed fine..Tonight I went out for about 100 miles and when about twenty miles from home it jumped in and out of third in rapid succession while accelerating out of a corner just after changing up.It scared the living sh*t out of me.I tried changing up and down through the gears several times and it was o.k.then when I was just relaxing and getting to think it was me it did it again in the same gear.The oil was from my local BMW dealer (motorex).
I have read the post on this problem and what I'd like to ask is do you guy's think that swapping to mobil 1 would help or does it sound a bit more sinister.It was o.k before I swapped the oil.
Iam supposed to be going to Scotland on saturday for 4days and am not exactely full of confidence at the moment.
All help and suggestions appreciated.
Parky...

My 1999 did this when I switched from budget EP90 to Mobil full synthetic. The stuff is so slippery! I got used to it after a day or two, it just requires a more positive shift.

Hi
Sounds like you need to be a bot more positive with the gearchange.Try adjusting the lever so its a little snugger fit under your boot.
