My third gear syncro is going out for the third time and I've had it fixed two times prior.

1st time, got stuck in fourth and they fixed it.

2nd time third gear is popping out and grinds. they fix it, bad syncro they say.

3rd time now I have a bad vibration at 45-50mph and 80-on up gets worse with the clutch in or out.

AND TODAY I GET STUCK IN FOURTH ON MY WAY TO WORK AND WAS A ***** TO GET OUT OF GEAR, and now I can feel 3rd slowly fading away again! WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY T-5? Unfortunately I do have the stock quadrant and shifter, but lets just say thats not the problem because I had always popped out of third since they rebuilt it over 2 times.

Thanks,
Leo
