   My '60 BT7 also pops out of second gear  on deceleration.  Second gear
   only,  I  think  (I  haven't  driven  it in a while).  I've heard it's
   probably  a  worn synchronizer.  True?  What can be done about this in
   these  cars?   ...and  how  soon  does it need to be done before major
   damage ensues? I'm pretty ignorant, though I can read a parts diagram:
   Moss has synchro cones but not the 2nd gear synchronizer.  Where could
   I find that?  Do I just need new cones? "Not a trivial undertaking"

   Is  there  anything  I  should  rule  out as the source of the problem
   first, that's cheaper to fix?
   Thanks!
