Reply to "Jumps out of second gear"

Rick: I am attaching a TSB article explaining how to adjust the linkage.
Unfortunately, to say this is all that is involved would be an understatement.
With the number of u-joints, spline rod ends, the support bearing and the turnbuckle, much of the adjusting is trial and error.
You may want to remove the shift plate as a starting point just to see if second gear will hold; however, make the adjustment with the shift plate attached.
The support bearing needs to be tight with no "wobble."
Check to make sure the rod splines are not slipping in the u-joints.
The turnbuckle has a left hand thread and right hand thread for adjusting the rod length.
There is a u-joint under the console just behind the gear shift lever that many times is overlooked.
