im chillen at a stop light today and i put it in first.. light turns green so i let out the clutch. clutch is engaged about half way and then i hear a loud ass thump and the shifter slams out of first. it does this about half the time now from a dead stop.. from a 5mph roll its fine tho. is this bad gears; clutch, or tranny? i drive a 2000 mustang and just installed a short throw shifter.

check the bolt holding the shifter in, mine did that with second gear because the bolt wasnt threaded in all the way
