Popping out of 3rd gear is a common problem with these transmissions. There is a fix which places a spacer between the front bearing and the gear. You must also remove the spacer on the first row of needle bearings for this to work. This moves the gear further into the syncronizer. pre68Dave has info on this on his site also.
Popping out of 2nd and 3rd indicates to me that all of the above could be in play. In any event a replacement syncro drum and the 2-3 shift fork are in order.
