Couple of months ago i bought a wrecked gt vert to restore that came with a slew of goodies one of which is a bbk short throw shifter. Heres my problem, sometims when i take off in first gear it pops out, but if it doesnt pop out after the first 5-10ft then it stays in gear. The only gear this happens in is first.I've heard this will happen with shifters if not adjusted right. Or is the tranny shot? Either way how hard is it to adjust the shifter?

It is easy to adjust the shifter. There are two bolts on the shifter itself. You will need to remove the upper and lower shifter boots, and then you will see the two bolts. One in front for 1st, 3rd, and 5th, and then another one for 2nd, 4th, and R. Simply take it out a little more to stop the problem, if it is the shifter. Otherwise it could be the syncros in the tranny, but I would guess it is the shifter.
