Long story I'll try to make short.
We've had our roadster for a year now and it's time to get it summer ready.
I've rebuilt the brakes, replaced the bearings, put in longer front studs.
But I still have one thing left to fix. My 5 speed transmission jumps out of
4th gear. The guy we bought it from said he had it rebuilt and it looks like
it (new paint and gaskets) It shifts fine no grinding or forcing it into gear.
But you put the power to 4th and out it jumps. Any ideas or thoughts before
I tear into it would be great.

My ideas would be bent shift fork, missing detent ball or spring, shift dog
worn, or external shift lever bumping the body. The first or second are the
most likely. As I recall some of the detent balls can be accessed from the
outside but most involve opening up the transmission. About 90% chance you are
looking at opening it up again to fix a fairly simple problem.
