Fix shifter linkage bushings to remove slop and adjust properly. May also be how you shift where problem is. :thinking :thinking

Goon - Is it the really shaky camera video linked below? Seems like a similar set-up. Mine locks up sometimes going from 2nd to 3rd....have to coast to the side of the road, get out and shake the linkages...not fun. I'll try that adjustment.
