In the mean time, learn to shift it the proper way for a worn out system. 1st up to neutral then push toward dash, then up to second and straight down to 3rd. Use the H pattern every time with no shortcuts. These systems were never meant for speed shifts. It won’t hang up nearly as often.

BTW, when starting a thread always tell us year, make and model of your truck.
