The only thing that seems to have made it better was a transmission drain and fill.
Odds are its getting sticky in there.

it pops out of gear b/c of old oil? interesting.. i would have thought the synchros would grind instead?

the gear 300 oil on this page

is supposed to be good stuff. i dont have personal experience with it though. also, for what its worth i'm not a fan of the redline stuff as it is known to kill sube gearboxes..

I would have thought the same but after I did the fluid swap it improved. Once in a while it seems like it wants to do it but i just hold the shifter during first.

Ford told me its the transmission getting old and a fluid swap would help lubricate everything and clean it up a bit.
