I wrote about this a while back..OK..maybe a long time back but it should
still be in the archives.  It was a message called "Things My Bentley Never
Told Me" and it was written right after I had the transmission out of mine
the first time.  I have had it out three or four times since then and am
looking at doing it again.  Mine never had the "popping out of fourth"
symptom, it just quit doing anything when I put it in fourth.

If you can't find it in the archives let me know.  I'll try to find it on the
hard drive, if it's still there that is.
