This may be a common problem? I also have had extensive problems with
3ed slipping out, even after a rebuild. (TR6 without overdrive.)
Something about a thrust bearing and a recommendation not to keep the
shift cover too tight.
I also would appreciate being cc or having responses to this problem
posted to the net if it is a common a problem as I suspect.
Thank you.
