Do you have a bodylift, or tension on the stick from the shift boot? A bodylift increases the arc of travel for the stick, and the boots can put more tension on the stick, causing problems like you have - jumping out of some gears.

Sometimes the tension on 3rd detent ball needs to be increased due to wear or play in bearings.
:P Remove corresponding plug and put a 1mm washer under spring
