3rd /4th detent is on passenger side ,undo the 2 retainer bolts and remove seal and spring ,you can fit a reverse detent spring which is stronger,you dont need to remove ball they never wear,but jumping out of gear is more likely the springs and or dog teeth on gear and synchro hub and wear on mainshaft assembly allowing 3rd gear to move
