i'm wondering if anyone has had the same problem i have... i'll be driving along and i'll just put it on the 3rd gear and then all of a sudden it pops out... so can anyone tell me what the problem is?

possibly a shift fork inside the tranny. Try searching, I know people have had this problem before.

usually that means your syncro is bad....either replace the tranny or pay a grip to have rebuilt

How does a bad syncro have anything to do with it popping out of gear? Syncros only help to match speeds of the gears while shifting.

rac3rb0i, check out the engine and tranny mounts in addition to a bad shift fork. Movement of the tranny can cause the shifter to pop out of gear.

check your tranny fluid. When my oil seal would pop out and the fluid would leak out my tranny would pop out of gear.

not a transmission expert but my transmission would pop out of 2nd and grind or miss altogether in 3rd. We tore it apart and only replaced the synchros. Popped on the transmission to another car and has been running like a champ for over a year now.

This is what I was basing my response on. I have heard also that grinding is mainly due to synchros, while popping out of gear is more often shift forks.

However, your case may have been different. I guess every scenario has it's own twist.

My 5th gear would pop out and then my tranny cooked itself. Check your fluid. And if you are driving and you smell something sour then your tranny just took a ****.

could be your bushings.
