But if this poster kept doing it to much you can misalign the linkage a lil. Or if he doesn't have enough fluid. I wanna get more info from him... Not sure where he went though

Check/replace the easy stuff first guys...70% of the time, thats what it is!

You can shift into 4-hi at any speeds up to 55 mph (according to my old manual). It doesn't have to be in neutral.
For 4-low, it's best to shift when it's coasting 2-3 mph and in neutral. I find this the easiest way to get it in gear. You can do it when stopped but you risk grinding the gears and they sometimes do not mesh properly.
