You probably have worn pinion bearings,(creates fore and aft shift lever motion and can whine in all gears.pops out only on deceleration) You could also have broken motor mounts which allows motor and gearbox to slide fore and aft in relation to the linkage (Use three big "C" clamps to lock down the engine) or ("come-a-longs") You may have a bad linkage adjustment, bad 3rd gear splines, A worn shift fork for 3rd,bad synchro spring or a combo of all of the above plus what Cmyles says. BUT, if you're like me just hold it in third or wind it up to 5 grand and shift from 2nd to 4th. I've been doing this with my '85 in 1st and 3rd for at least ten years. I'm just waiting for something major to fail where I NEED to pull it all out. (Then comes the real problem of re-doing the electrical harnesses. What would you do in Mordor Zig?
