<VV> Popping out of 2nd gear...

If you don't have a failing front motor mount, then it's rebuild time for
your transmission.

Gang,

I've got an odd problem with my '63 spyder...  If I down-shift into second
just before making a hard right hand turn, my tranny invariably pops out of
gear.  I've noticed that when I shift into 2nd, it doesn't feel like I'm
getting a solid shift... like it's just barely going into gear.  However,
all the other gears go in solidly into place.

Do I need to shorten my shift rod a little?  I would think that if my shift
rod were too short, that I would have a similar problem with 4th gear.  I
haven't yet, but then I don't ever take a hard right in 4th gear.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Blaine
