Popping out of 3rd gear is usually caused by worn 3/4 synchronizer brass blocker rings.

had this problem t98 would blow out of third under load.
the front bearing input is different from the back border parts sold me two fronts(I think or two rears i have crs) anyway one is thicker than other you have to look close, is their a lot slop in the top gear cluster? a 1/4" is to much


looking to see if I have a pic of bearings no pic
to clarify a little the gap between the input shaft and the out put shaft should not be over an 1/8"

Bearings have a BIN (Bearing Industry Number) stamped on them, these are the numbers auto parts stores and bearing shops use.

8MTH-7025 .. Input Shaft Bearing / 1.5745" I.D. x 3.5430" O.D. - slotted for snap ring.

BIN: 308 L1 or B308-AMGS or 5052-AMG or X3244-G
-----------------------------------------------------------------
7EQ-7065 .. Output Shaft Bearing / 1.5745" I.D. x 3.5429" O.D. - .9025" thickness - grooved for snap ring.

BIN: 308 L or B308-AG or 33466 or 38831 or X3321-G
