It pops out of gear. Seems to be 2nd and 4th. Thought perhaps the shift boot was defective, .it seems to be extremely tight against the shift while in 2nd and 4th gear. It will be gear, then pop out. It's happened to me since I picked up the car on 12/29/99. It's happened to my boyfriend when he drove it. Just spoke with the service people, they said it didn't happen to them. Don't know what my next move is.
