my truck has been really hard to get out of 5th gear lately, no problems w/any other gears, & it's worse with a load on. It's not really all that bad with just the truck, but when I get it loaded, (horse trailer, flatbed, etc.) it gets real hard to pull out of gear if the truck is holding a load back, or pulling against it, like climbing or going down a grade???? had a mechanic tell me it might be the pads on the shift fork letting it **** or twist slightly, does this sound like a possibility??? Thanks for any info., Dusty

 

Sounds like a worn shift fork, maybe?
