I just purchased a 1998 S10 2wd with a 5 speed manual transmission, overdrive (5th gear) pops out when not under load, although this issue is eliminated by simply resting my hand on the shifter when decelerating in 5th, I'd like to see what it'd take to correct this. The truck has 96k miles on it, shifts perfectly and engages without issue. However, in 5th gear, if I take the load off the transmission (coast) the transmission disengages and pops into neutral. Any input is appreciated. Thank you.
More than likely the shifter parts or worn out, rebuild it.

Sounds like a bad countershaft bearing. The trans will need removed and disassembled to fix it.

sounds like the shifter linkage has worn and not working properly need to lift in air and inspect the linkage

you may be confusing the torque converter clutch engagement with o.d. this trans has a problem with the T.C.C. regulator valve wearing out the valve body bore. this will cause the converter clutch to engage only sometimes or not at all. this will set a P1870 code in the control module. when this code is stored in the controller, ( check engine light may or may not be on), it increases the pressure in the transmission causing the 1-2 shift to be harsh. ask a local tranny shop to scan the vehicle ( most will do this for free) if this is the problem they can either fix your valve body (sonnax parts) or replace it with an upgraded valve body. hope this helps
