poping out of 3rd sometimes while driving under normal acceleration, my car with pop out of 3rd gear. I don't think it has anything to do with my tranny, i believe that it is my shitty stock hurst shifter. Any ideas?
I don't know if it will die soon. But it will die. Mine has been doing the same thing under over 500RWHP for about 1.5 year. My tranny is still alive and kicking. But you will need a rebuild soon. It is not your stock hurst shifter. This 3rd gear issue you have is a very common problem in the T56 transmissions.

damn. i hope it's not the syncro. I doesn't do this all the time. and once the clutch is engaged fully it does not pop out. I know i have it all the way in gear tho.
Mine will pop out of 3rd gear but under different circumstances.....It only does every now and then when I'm off the throttle. If I'm accelerating at all it'll never come out. I've got a PRO 5.0 but I don't think it has anything to do w/ it.

Still sounds like you're not getting full engagement. While accelerating, there's more rotational force helping to keep the synchro-ring meshed with the gear, but it's probably not ideal. Anytime a trans pops out of gear, is not a good thing and indicates a problem.
