This fork rides in the slot of the gear and moves it back and forth. Notice the right edge is worn a pretty good amount. THat's the amount the fork can't push the gear fully into place. THe fork is brass and the gear is steel so there's no guess which one will wear first. It could be your linkage or motor mounts but more than likely they didn't replace the fork during rebuild. You can drive it until you get sick of it popping out. Eventually it will start grinding and you'll have to skip second gear entirely. I drove a '85 spg for about a year like that, years ago. In my '87 spg I usually skip second, right to third in the cold mornings to save some wear on the fork and synchros. Who knows if it will help in the long run.
