    Either your shift linkage needs repair, or your transmission needs replacement/refurbishment.
    My trans used to pop out of 4th gear. When I took the trans out, the input shaft bearing was worn to hell.

      Was that the cause of the popping out of 4th gear issue? Or was that a separate issue? Did you fix it or throw the gearbox away?

      Aside from showing yourself to be offensive, lacking experience and ignorant in the ways of business, you're also illiterate and imprudent. Beyond that, your sense of liability is severely impaired.

        My swapped car pops out of reverse occasionally, has to do with the custom shift linkage not lining up quite right. Maybe yours is damaged?
