Default Re: 47 pickup second gear pops out

There are a number of wear locations that can cause a lot of gear movement when the thrust load reverses during engine braking. Gear bushing might be worn, the 2nd gear and mating cluster gear may have a lot of wear on the teeth. The counter shaft may have loose bearings or the thrust washer is shot. The synchro blocker ring may be worn out too. A person would just have to tear it down & have a look. The shifter detents in the tower should also be checked since they do aid in holding it in gear as long as everything else is good to go.
