It kicks in and out at low rpms in forward only (reverse is fine) and it only does it till i give it some gas and then it does fine. Is this a linkage problem? And if so how do i adjust it?

either that or a bad clutch dog.

Look in your manual to see the proper procedure to adjust it and go from there.
