Happy Mother's Day..... just a reminder

Yesterday, for the first time I took my '53 out on a road trip. I have been 
driving it occasionally around town without any problems, but yesterday I went 
on a 140 mile trip. After about 30-40 trouble free miles the tranny kept 
popping out of 3rd gear. (it has a 250/3 speed column setup hooked to the 
original trans and torque tube rear)  It didn't matter if I kept my hand of the 
shifter to hold it in, or not. At one point I stopped and tried adjusting the 
shifter rod, but that didn't seem to change anything. 

Do I need to keep adjusting it, or is there something else I should be looking 
at? Thanks for any help you can give.
