Well found out today it wasn't a factory shifter. Its an aftermarket short throw. Parts on it were broke. Not sure what parts. Had to take it to my mechanic because of finals in school, work, and somethings going on in my life, but its getting fixed. Thanks for all the help though! I really appreciate it!

A Synchro Ring doesnt cause it to pop-out..worn out Keys & D-ring will cause it to pop-out. A Synchro Ring just matches the free-spinning Gear with the speed of the Input shaft/Counter Shaft at the time, hence the name, and the grinding when it's fucked up, or the Keys & D-ring are worn.
If the Cup is fucked off to the point where it will partially engage Reverse then that is his issue on why it will pop-out..the D-ring & Keys aren't fully locking out to hold the Slider on the Gear. Also there is Metal D-ring & Key Retaining Plate on the back side of the Reverse Slider Assembly, my stock T56 was cracked and that caused Reverse to pop out every now n then cause it wasnt letting the Keys hold the Slider in place.

must of just been from the slop in my shifter and cup.. but then I don't get why my reverse synchro was so shot
owellAnd when did you trade the F-body for a G merv? that thing is sick! makes me miss my old one.. hows your body mounts btw? they were the reason I sold this ->
