He must sell transmissions. I've had this same thing hapen to me so many times it's rediculous. It's always, and I mean always, some loose. Whether it's the bolts holding the levers onto the forks or the linkage sticking and pulling the wrong fork into gear. The last time was at half track and I had to finish in second gear(that was imbarrassing). Had to get two wheels up on a slope so I could crawl under and push it back where it was supposed to be. Hasn't done it since. Take it to somebody else.
