Re: pops out of gear?
Sounds like bad syncro's to me.

Try adjusting the linkage and the stops before you submit to the worn syncros.

Usually what happens are the struts and springs in the syncro get weak and worn, wont hold it in gear.

Re: pops out of gear?
To take the shifter out, push down on the top of the round tin surrounding the lever and turn counter clockwise.
