transmission problems

["Michael Paine" <mpaine@xxxx>]

hello all,

It seems I have a problem with second gear. all the others are fine but 
sometimes when I shift into 2nd it pops right back out into nuetral. I 
have to pull back on the shifter and hold it in place until I have the 
clutch pedal released before I let go of the shifter. Also sometimes 
when I shift from 1st to 2nd when I let the pedal up I am not in gear 
and I have to put it back to nuetral and pull it back hard to get into 
gear (after pushing the clutch pedal of course). I seem to have a 
problem getting into reverse as well but only occasionally - same pull 
back issue, I have to pull back hard to get it into gear. Would this 
just be an adjustment in the linkage between the tranny and the 
shifter? Is this something I can do myself, being only a weekend 
mechanic?

regards,

Michael
