S.O.S. 833 pops out of 3rd without load.

Ditto on the stops/alignment of the shifter---also check the bushings on the trans shifter arms might be a cracked one----I think it also could be a shifter fork or a slider might be worn--- is it only third???? Do you have to "hold" it in gear to keep it from popping outa gear???

Yes, it only does it in 3rd and no, I don't have to hold it in gear as long as its under a very slight load. When puttin around town in 3rd and as long as my foot is on the gas its fine. It's only when I let off the gas is when it pops out of gear. I put the transmission in 3rd and pulled the linkage rod off. 3rd gear was fully engaged. I even pulled the shifter stop out and it did the same thing. I'm replacing the side cover and shifter fork since those are the only items that were reused. I'll look into the shifter itself tomorrow.

Thanks

thinking more about this the 3rd gear synchro is MOST likely bad-- this is a classic symptom of a worn synchro---same symptoms in any make of trans if the synchro is bad when either decelerating or just coasting it will jump out of gear what ever gear it is in at that time ---comp

Yes, your correct. However every part in this transmission is brand new with the exception of the shifter fork and side cover.

Well try the fork and side cover see if that works if not look at the 3rd gear synchro next--about the cover look at the hole the shifter fork goes thru see if it is wallowed out from use and check the fork to for excessive wear---are both forks the same if so reverse their positions swap one for the other see if that cures it--I'm still saying synchro is messed up some way

I'll try all your sugestion's tomorrow. Thanks a ton.

It's most likely the fork, Driving around with your hand on the shifter wears them out.

Jerry,

Check the 3-4 slider, when you look at the splines, they need to be straight not hour glass shaped. Could be the syncro but remember its purpose is to slow the gear just enough to make the gear change. Also take a look at the pilot bushing, a worn one will allow the imput to walk around, although this usally a high gear issue.
