TJ:

Do you have a copy of Les Andrews blue book, "Troubleshooting and Diagnostics"? Chapter 2 page 39 list 7 issues that will cause the transmission to pop out of high gear.

1. The input shaft nose is loose in the pilot bearing.
2. Incorrect drive angle of transmission to flywheel
3. Transmission mounting bolts loose.
4. Bent or worn shift fork/s.
5. Main front input shaft bearing worn or broken.
6. Warped flywheel housing.
7. Shift tower detent springs weak or broken.

Thanks for that input, Rob. I've got some investigating to do.
