The direct clutch is applied, fwd clutch applied, one or the other possibly loosing some apply oil past a seal when it gets hot?

Physically "jumping out of gear" is not possible, unless the leaf spring isn't staying on the "rooster comb" or the nut came off the end of the manual shaft.....Cliff

"Jumping out of 3rd" is always an indication of clogged filter, low fluid level or both. Make the changes ad report back.
