I know it sounds ridiculous but my 72 kept popping out of 4th gear under load.  Turned out not to be a tranny issue at all - the reverse lock out cable was interfering with the shift linkage. I guess it wasn’t fully engaging 4th gear.

The reverse lock out was disconnected before I got the car.  I prefer it that way. . .
