let me guess,, your hooked on a crackberry eh?

you type like your on a blackberry or something.

I would have to estimate your question into what i think your trying to say.  Yes,, im being an ass but how about a complete sentence,, this aint twitter.

Your linkage might be the problem like you said but i would lean more on the syncro.  If its poping out of gear to N, thats about the only thing i can think of.  If , per your title, it slips, then bleed the slave or inspect the clutch.

if you have an adjustable clutch cable, that is a possibility, or it could very well be a synchro. How many miles are on it, or do you know? I've got one that's harder than hell to get into second, all other gears shift perfect...I'm hopin it's the cable for me. (mine's adjustable..)

Your shifter may not be adjusted right, specially if it's after market, may not be letting it in all the way, so it wants to spit it out.

K thx, i'll def check that out tomorrow.

I typically drive in D all the time unlesss i get over 55 for a good while but its not so much that OD band is out, as it is just that the ol girl dont know its time to upshift. It'll shift just fine (in evey gear) when its cool.

My mind is officially boggled.
