shifting into mystery gate
Using experience learned the hard way, sometimes repeatedly I practice using a very light touch with the shifter. But still sometimes when i go to get out of the 3-4 gate to the 1-2 gate it goes into mystery gate and is still in whatever gear it was last in. I learned not to fight or force it but to lift the reverse gate on the shifter and take the shifter over to the reverse gate, not down into gear, just into the gate. Once there I release the lever and gently move it over and it goes into the proper gate between 1,3 and 2,4. I noticed I have to do this at least once a day with then prompts me to lighten my grip on the shifter to finger tips only.
but this winter I'm pulling the transmission to inspect it anyways.
