Sometimes, not all the time, my car will jump out of 3rd gear violently. Usually more often at part throttle shifting than WOT. Let the clutch out and BOOM! shifter slaps my palm. What's the cause of this? thanks

Yeah I backed the stops out about 1 full turn. It hasn't done it since, but now when im driving around normal, not racing, I'm kinda hesitant to use third. I need to have synchros, and maybe a steel 3-4 fork, and who knows what else, maybe a slider and gear or two put in my tranny. I think if it jumps out of 3rd, the teeth on that gear might be worn off, could be the teeth on the slider, but i doubt it since it doesnt jump out of 4th (knocking on wood).
