This happened several months ago and I’ve been too embarrassed to post it in the forum, so here goes……

On the way from San Antonio to New Braunfels (35 miles) my three-on-the-tree started jumping out of third gear. I would clutch it and drop it back down into third and it would be good for a few miles, and then suddenly jump out of gear again. I was worried but continued, and had a good day with my truck buddies. On the return trip the tranny wouldn’t stay in 3rd gear for more than 100 ft. Then it got so bad that it wouldn’t even go into 3rd. I limped all the way home in 2nd gear. Anyone want to take a guess what the problem is?

Thanks!
