forgot to mention the motor mount is about a year old or less so that should not be the problem.

Once in a while, I have experienced a very mild push back from the gear box when moving back in the gate to gears four and six. I also have had troubles on the track when things are getting really hot. It has been suggested to me that this might the shifter cables on top of the engine getting hot. Have a look at that section of cable to ensure nothing has melted.

...check your oil level too

I'll check that thanks....

It was still noticeable this morning but "maybe" not quite as bad as other times. It just kind of feels like the gear is not engaging all the way at times (like it is about to pop out of gear). When I left work yesterday it was pretty bad but I found by shifting to the gear, then letting it fall to neutral and then trying to engage the gear again it shifted smoother...it might take one or two more tries though to engage smoothly.
