I dont know about any of the other stuff, but the only thing I know of that makes it pop of out gear into neutral is dead syncros <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> sorry... that sucks...From what I understand that specific problem is from pulling the shifter out of gear without pushing in the clutch, which you can do, but isnt good for it. Hope this helps.

Got pics of the wiring and stuff around the EGR? Never heard of what you're describing.

My car does exactly what you are talking about in 3rd gear. We discussed it here:

I dont think that it is the syncros personally because i dont ever grind gears, it just slips out.

For your surging check fuel pressure & check the fuel filter. Does car have alot of mods? This is a surge & not a miss right?

I would settle the EGR question first. It's
a source of mixture error, which can perturb
the fuel computation and result in a hunting
behavior depending on other factors like the
age / cruddiness of the O2 sensors.

There are plenty of ways to make the system
oscillate, I would say start with the obvious
and the cheap, and see what changes the response.
