Default Short throw shifter poping out of 4th? Trans dead?

i just bought a sc oo GT today it has a steeda short throw shifter and pops out of 4th gear, thats the only gear it pops out of. i know some shifters pop out of 2 but i dont know about 4th. Took it up to the local performence shop he didn't really look at it but thought it could of be a bent shift fork. will get alot worse over time fast? if your reparing the shirft fork you might as well buy a new tranny. im pretty worried about this now, car only has 36k. it doesn' always go out of 4th thu. I did a test at a stop light put it into 4th and started to inch forward and it poped out. It just changes sometimes it does come out other times it doesn't. I hope its something wrong with the shifter. how much does a Mustang tranny run?

Pull the panel off for the shifter and check the shift stop screw it is probably set a little to tight. If its not set to tight, then yes.. your tranny needs work.

Its prolly the shift stop, if not its a fork, or detent. New trans is about 1500, go used, or remaned from
ddperformance.com
Astroperformance.com
Libertysgears.com has tkos
And I'm drawing a blank on a few others

Just asking, because if so, he must have sold it and bought this GT. That means someone else now has an orange saleen with a questionable paint job.
