I fixed it by adjusting the linkage and putting washers where they connect to tighten up the slop... It also took care most of the rattles in the linkage...

What happens is the rod right behind the shift lever is supposed to slide back and forth and lock into the detent positions. It dries up and binds so that the rod does not slide in and out smoothly as it should and you don't get the solid lock into each gear position. | | |
