I was driving home last night and the car kept popping out of 3rd gear. Didn't get to check of 1st or 5th did the same thing. Any idea whats going on? Shifter bushings?

I looked things over yesterday. The cables look good. The only thing that stands out is that there is a bit of free play when going into third when messing with the gears with the engine off, but I don't think thats the real problem.
I drove the car around some more, and its defiantly forcefully pushing the gear out, and at one point I had trouble getting it into third. The tranny has also made all kinds of noises over the years, and the differential side bearings have a ton of free play in them. I guess after 10 years of handling the power of the 3sgte, the tranny is finally giving up the ghost. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
