I have been having this issue with my silver b4, 253k mi. Over the course of a few weeks it became more difficult to get into 2nd and 4th gear, and if not deliberate about shifting it would either pop out or go into this in-between space where it grinds. I changed the fluid, which helped slightly...but it's still there. Investigating today, I found there is quite a bit more play in the lever attached to the weight that hooks to the lower cable. It can be wiggled front to back significantly. I compared it to my green car with 213k and no shifting issues and there is no front to back play in this bracket-when it moves it just moves the whole linkage.
Has anyone dealt with this? Should I replace the whole linkage? It seems like the issue is at the bottom of the bracket below where the cable attaches.
