Default is it just me?

So i have a 98 ford ranger 4.0l

Shifting into 1, 3, 5 are all fine 2nd and 4th are my only two i struggle with... shifting from 1st to second takes not as much time as 3rd to 4th. i pretty much have to almost shift it back into third and then right back to 4th. i never get in 3rd just lift and then to 4th.

just asking, think its the bushing or am i just sucking at shifting and im not hitting in the groove. ( i can shaked it left and right trying to get into 4th is doesn't go in unless i lift it up a little then into 4th.)

No it sounds like it's not just you. I don't know what it is but you've noticed something specific to your truck. You know that shift linkage can be adjusted. someone else will have to answer how though, or grab a manual from the library. I never have done that repair.

It might be the linkage or a sincro problem.
