The car has 1500 miles on it now, and in the last two drive(sub zero weather)when I'm tooling around in second gear, without holding the shifter, it will pop out of gear and back into neutral...
Any ideas??
Cheers Ray

what are you using for a shifter

I hve heard that the boot gets in the way and doesnt allow the tranny to fully click into gear. Take the boot off and try it.

Make sure your shifter boot doesn't put pressure on your shifter. Seen this before.

It is the stock mustang shifter, and thats what I thought, seems as if the rubber boot isn't as plyable in the cold
Maybe I should put it away for the winter.

If it turns out not to be the boot, this can be caused by worn selector forks. This will entail a rebuild.

I had this happen to me in 1st, 3rd and 5th. It ended up being the rubber shifter boot. I switched it out for a leather one and alls fine

Ya Doug
I'm getting it in 2nd and 4th and it does seem like the boot.

Make sure the hole is large enough to allow the shifter to go all the way in to gear. I have had this problem before when you put the shifter in gear make sure it does not contact the alum.

Had the same problem with my pro 5.0 the ajustment screws had tightend with just the vibration of the car backed them off no problem since.
