when shifting into reverse it will not stay in gear.... n grinds.... grrrr in 2-4th gears shifter seems to be towards the middle area like nuteral... but trany stays in all the other gears just fine... in 2-4th gears the shifter is not as far back as it was before years ago...

Sounds like you need to do a simple realignment and centering of the shifter mechanism. Got a Bentley manual? The process is described in there, very easy to do. Seems like the shifter always has a mind of its own. Maybe from wear and tear.
