Default Need help with m6 transmission problem

Help, just with in the past few trips my transmission has been having trouble shifting into 6th gear. All other gears work fine but when I shift into 6th it feels like the shifter doesn't travel all the way. Sometimes it catches and sometimes I get the dreaded grind without the gear engaging. It also looks like the poopieer is not going all the way down (as compared to 2nd and 4th).

Is there a linkage adjustment that I can check or adjust at the shifter or back at the transmission? I would like to have an idea of what to look for before I crawl under and start looking.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Dan

I don't know about 6th, but mine was popping out of reverse. My car is now sitting on a lift at the dealer with the rear suspension sitting behind her, waiting for a new gear and synchros. Mine was popping out of reverse with a serious thud followed by a nice grinding sound. :U
Hopefully, some other folks will chime in for you.
