So I've been busy all weekend.
Took the tranny out and pulled it apart to confirm what I thought was causing the problems.
Problem 1
Transmission would not go into second gear when the car was warmed up
Reason: The second gear synchronizer arm is worn the fuck out... the collar is fine, but the arm is worn down...
Problem 2
Transmission would pop out of 3r'd gear randomly.
Reason: The shift arm rod detents lands, ball and spring are fucked. The ball as flat spots on it, the spring is weak as compared to the other springs.

Now this is my kind of "art" lol. Didn't expect to see anything like this here. You're quite brave I'd have to say. The only guts of a transmission I've ventured into was for the Honda B-Series; quite small, simple and easy. Did mess around with two or three Getrag 265 box's but I was assisting someone else.
As in FA. Nice; which trans specifically? Or rather which motor are you mating it with? I've seen all kinds of cut up/project stuff lol.
Some parts are hard to source even with the right info, I remember I had a large bitch of a time trying to find a few "common" things, once had to get a SINGLE spline [re]machined, fucking input shaft wonkiness...ugh... Learning experiences, haha. I wish you luck, I definitely know how that feels when it comes to sourcing parts.
Huge +1 from me either way for having the balls to open your own transmission. I'll open a motor any day, transmission....eh what's that one rebuild shop's number again?

Not always when I was working in a car dealership we had a customer come in looking for three small pieces for his vans transmission the rest of the gearbox was fine all three pars were no longer available.
Everything else gears, bearings and shafts was still available just not these tiny little things.

yeah but it depends who you are how it effects you
for me it was both that it was a major pain in the ass and learning exactly how one worked (keep in mind i was plopped in a stick when i was 14 and was never taught how to do it properly i learned on my own ... granted now i have a paddle shifter)
and i'm very technical minded so seeing how it worked helped a ton
