get in the truck put the selector in 3rd gear. Crawl under the truck, disconnect the shift rod from the 3rd speed arm at the trans and see if the arm is actually in the 3rd gear detent or if it moves a bit more. If it moves a bit more before hitting the detent, it may just be an adjustment. If it is all the way in the detent, it is probably something in your transmission.
