Well the gear popping out problem sounds like the synchro's are junk in the trans. His best bet is to either yank out the tranny and re-build it or just start hunting junk yards for a used tranny. There is no real easy fix other than replacing the synchro mesh. But if its been beat on bad enough to have the synchro's wasted, the tranny itself is tired and needs re-building. As for the light try & get a picture of it. i have a 96 formula and don't remember having a light like that. Maybe coolant?? but just a wild guess

Any chance this car has the "skip-shift" deal, and it's not acting right? Or, did the skip-shift start with the LS-1 cars?

Just to be sure we're all clear on this, those are prices for a rebuilt tranny
from Six Speeds - those aren't "rebuilt kits" you buy and rebuild yourself.
