Check the gear selector pivot is the right way round.
When it's right it looks wrong.

Do you have rubber gators on the cables ? If so when in 4th gear the gator could be getting compressed and pushing it out of gear.

Very valid point, my new covers stopped me selecting 4th, cut 30mm of both, ok now.

was told 500 miles running in period, must admit seems a lot better now
