Most shift problems (in my experience) can be traced to linkage issues.

We fought a bad one this year where it would shift fine on jackstands, but under load with the chassis flexing, it would just barely not engage second. Lost rd. 1 at a national event, thank you...

We carefully checked the linkage and found it was off by about a 1/16th of an inch, just a tiny bit one way too far. When we put the linkage on the ball, it was just rubbing a little. A turn one way was all it needed, and it shifted fine after that.

HTH,
Chris
