problems with 2nd gear
I've been having problems with my 2nd gear the last week or so and was wondering what the problem could be. When I shift into 2nd and let go of the shifter right away, it does not want to stay in 2nd. It pops into neutral. If I hold the shifter for a couple of seconds while accelerating it will stay. I've never had any trouble before.

There's a TSB for bent 2nd gear shift fork on early 2004 models.

Can someone point to it? I can't find it...

I'll try to look for it. I'm still under powertrain warranty so hopefully whatever it is it will be covered.
