Scott it has nothing to do with me trying to pretend what it is or isn't I think the linkage is still improper and Cory himself verified when I went to see him today that it's likely a linkage problem. Blue's problem is just another one i'll have to deal with if I have that as well. There is no such thing as a rear main shaft plate according to a few shops (unless they are idiots) so I need to find out the real name first ; o.
How is something both "verified" and "likely"? You're not going to know what the issue really is until the gearbox is taken apart and actually verified to be okay or not. My point was that blue's description matched your issue right down to the same cause. Occam's Razor pretty much guarantees you're looking at the same issue, and not some new linkage issue... unless you've got two problems.

Maybe you should describe this "linkage problem"... 'cause I'm assuming you're just talking about the way the shifter attaches to the transmission. I'd be surprised if a problem with the linkage would cause the car to pop out of particular gears unless you've got a bushing or something out of place... but that would be easily felt when just shifting the car while parked.
