    Where can I buy the gears I need to be back on the road?
    What goes bad with gear or syncro that would cause it to pop out of gear?

    Bob is right, usually its a bent shift fork or a linkage issue that causes a trans to pop out of gear. Best to take it apart first and then determine what needs replacing.
