I don't think you can say "or really a problem". These cars have their
quirks, but slipping out of gear is not one of them.
I had my TR250 gearbox rebuilt by Racetorations in the UK and when
I drove the car for the first time last month, it slipped out of gear.
Racetorations is flying one of their guys out to Michigan to pull the
gearbox and fix the problem.

Peter,
I have roughly 2500 miles on a freshly rebuilt gearbox and have the same
issue.
If I am in third, and keep my foot off the pedal, allowing the car to
decelerate, in often comes out of gear.
You are not alone, and I don't think this is rare, or really a problem.
I will follow this thread with great interest.
