slips out of second gear 200

A new problem has reared its potentially ugly head on my for sale wagon. While driving down the road the other day, in second gear on my 5 spd (I think it's the M47 that doesn't have the puch button overdrive) when it just randomly slipped out of gear. I have been able to recreate it a couple of times since by accelerating then coasting for a few feet. It only happens in second. Why? What's up with this? Will it go away if I ever get around to installing the new tranny mount I bought 2 months ago? Does it need an adjustment somewhere? Or is it fatal?

BTW, the Volvo wagons make excellent substitutes for moving vans if you're in a bind!

    I agree with Adam and HOPE you do have a bad trans mount. If not, well you don't want to hear what you're going to need. Usually the M47 gets pretty crunchy when it's on its way out. So if it still shifts smoothly, it's probably just the mount.

      It shifts like butta. Even the slip out of second is smooth, it doesn't pop, it glides.

    A bad transmission mount is known to cause this. If the mount is bad enough it will allow the tranny tunnel to interfer with the gear shift lever when in second gear. Throw in that mount and all should be good again.

    Good Luck.
    Adam.
