Downshifting from 3rd into 2nd, sometimes it pops out of second!!!! I have heard that this might be the 2nd gear synchro. What is that and how can I fix it?

Luckily the gearbox section of the 4+3 is just the common BW Super T10 trans
Yes, I can put it back in gear, and hold it. It needs butter??? Please explain.Synchronizers are worn down. If you can 'sort of' keep it engaged by holding the shifter, your synchros need butter.

MOST PROBABLY NOT SYCNCROS!! more likely it is your over drive. I have the same situation with my 86 - after your car is warmed up do you feel like the tranny slips in reverse? Brian from S&K speed told me it is the OD unit in need of a rebuild, not my tranny, the pop out in 2nd is a sympton of the OD going bad.

The OD is not engaged. I only use the OD on the highway with speeds over 50mph.
When it pops out of 2nd gear, the shifter goes with it.
I just serviced my OD unit last week, as I do quite frequently with new fluid and filter.
