 the highway in fourth, it has popped. all i've done is engage the clutch
 and push the gear shift back into fourth, and all's well.

 my question, and i do have one, is: do you think it's ok to continue
 driving? i'd planned to do some errands this afternoon and would be
 driving about 100 miles roundtrip.

 anyway, i've printed out all the emails from you and i'll pass them onto
 the mechanic, who has warmed to the idea of a cumulative brain trust
 working on the problem.

 thanks again, all

Okay, some folks will hem and haw on this. But as a recovering cheapskate, I
thought I would pass on a cheapskate solution that worked for me in a similar
circumstance.

Slick 50 manual transmission additive. I had a '76 (091) bus that had a worn-
out synchro on 1 & 2. I NEEDED to drive the van to Mexico and back (from NC)
hauling five friends and luggage. In a bind I gave the Slick 50 product a
shot, and it worked.

I ended up putting 45k on that bus without a rebuild (tranny) and sold it with
it shifting fine. For $12.00, it may be worth a try. FLAPS
