4th Gear Question

[Jr Flurry115]

My car has decided that its not a big fan of 4th gear anymore. As im driving in 4th sometimes it throws it self out of gear. I was thinking throw out bearing? any other ideas out there.

do you have an after market shifter?

do you have an after market shifter?

Yeah, I have the B&M ripper and when I first installed it, I put it in the most rearward position and it hopped out of 4th. I took it apart and switched the spacers around, now it's much quieter and engages all gears. I only had it like that for about 2 days. If this is the case, switch it around NOW, or you'll jack your tranny up!

Make sure the shift stops are backed out as far as possible so they don't touch whn in a gear
