        I recently purchased a 68 Spit a wonderful roller skate, but there is 
        a transmission problem. Under deceleration in third gear the gearshift
        jumps to neutral. This car has a later 4 synchro with overdrive-year
unknown.
        No other trans problem is obvious, up and down shifts are smooth and
O/D works
        in third and fourth.

        Is this a common problem with these stanpart cars?
        Could it be a problem with.     
                1. The selector shaft and plungers
                2. Selector fork
                3. Synchronizer springs and balls
                4. Third gear locating circlip on mainshaft
                5. Whatever?
        Has anyone else had this problem?
