Default Possible shift linkage problem

I just got a 93 si with b16a swap. and if i go into 4th at low r's or let the r's drop below 2.5k it pops out. im wondering if anyone else has this issue and if you've had it how did you fix it.

Any ideas, someone at school told me it could be the stableizer rod bushing or something. Help please

Lift up the car and check everything around your shift linkage make sure all the bolts are tied in good. If they are might be a bad 4th gear if it only happens in that gear.

yeah but it only seems to not go in or pop out at low rpms maybe cause the motor isnt all the way back into the mounts?

what do you mean the motors isnt back to the mounts? is the rear motor mount installed and are the bolts tight? does the motor move alot?

It could be that you have a bad motor mount and its tilting the engine so you cant stay in gear. Only way to really know is by lifting up the car.
