Your problem is allowed to happen because of worn parts: the tip of the shift lever, the rails and the guides that hold the rail to the bottom of the transmission cover. Just building up the tip of the lever usually brings things back far enough to eliminate the problem for a long time. On the other hand, careful shifting can avoid it for a long time as well.

We had an A on the farm that would do this once in a while. One day it happened and I went to get some tools to remove the transmission cover (much easier than on a 350). By the time I got back, dad had fixed it by just playing with the shift lever. Eventually I got so I could do that and I think my younger brother did as well.

On the business of pulling the TA lever to make it shift easier, linkage from the clutch to the TA is supposed to effectively do the same thing. Pulling the TA only makes a difference if the linkage is out of adjustment. I have known of people that habitually pulled the TA lever to shift for years, with no evident additional problems from doing it.
