I have a hard time shifting into 2nd sometimes and lately now after i do get it into 2nd it will just pop out of gear into neutral. I have a recently rebuilt T-5 that i just put in a couple months ago and its got a pro 5.0 shifter on it .. does anybody have any ideas why it might do this?

I'll second that. I had the same problem with mine. Backed off the shift stops and hasn't happened since.
