It shifts extremely well, doesn't pop out of gear or anything. My parents won't give me the 500 I need to get it so, I can't get it. Oh well.
The carburetor and vacuum system on those can really be a nightmare to fix when things go wrong and with the issues members here are having finding with cracked exhaust manifolds on later models, where there are NO replacement parts available makes any repair attempt practically impossible.

The driveability problems you're describing are most likely related to vacuum carb issues.
