I bought a '75 99 several years ago that had a trashed 3rd gear synchro. I changed the transmission fluid five times in the three years that I drove it. Finally the ominous noises it was making got so bad that I decided I'd better park it before it blew up on me. I've had another transmission to put into it for about four years, but have just not gotten to that project.
Every time I drained the transmission oil, there were pieces of a spiral spring from _inside_ the synchro hub ... Something is _really_ broken in there for pieces of that spring to be getting out.
sounds like this one is far enough gone that your best bet is to find a replacement. If you source a 5-speed, make sure you get all of the shifter housing parts. Somewhere online there is a web page on swapping a 5-speed into a 4-speed car.
