kicking out of second gear

[pautsch_gmc]

good day all,

So after two years of picking away at my truck its now my daily driver. My problem is, with it being a 4 on the floor, I start off in second and once I get going and pick up speed it kicks out of gear and sometimes it catches me off guard and leaves me fumbling for third gear. My question is what could be causing it to pop put of second gear.

thanks in advance

Most likely you've got bearings showing wear. That or worn/ground second gear is common when second gear is not synchronized.

Double checked my answer and came up with a few more. You just about have to open it up to know for sure....

Cecilia does this too after I rebuilt her trans. It's on my list of things that need fixing. Glad I'm not the only one with this prob! :D:thumbsup::goodluck:

My '67 K model has always done that too. But it's never bothered me enough to go to the trouble of doing something about it.
