I've gotten pretty good at adjusting this every 6-8 months, but it won't
STAY adjusted.  It starts giving me a hard time getting into second, that
seems to be the operative indication that it is falling out of adjustment,
then I have to crawl under and adjust the rod again.  It's a pain because
it really seems to be hit or miss process that usually takes at least an
hour and results in a sprained neck!  Are the splines just wearing out?
Anyone else have this problem and come up with a fix that doesn't involve
replacing the rods?
