I have got my 190D 5sp almost in perfect condition. Everything works including AC, cruise control and keyless entry. The only issue is it pops out of 3rd during acceleration. It shifts well into third gear but very occasionally will pop out. If I hold/press on the gear stick while in third then it is fine and will not pop out. The throw-out bearing is noisy.

What is wrong, the synchronizser? Drive it the way it is or overhaul the tranny? How easy it is to DIY?
