Steve, If it jumps out going up the box, It's under more load than coming down ?,
Good Luck, Bill.

If its not a gear indicator problem, it could be the right side main shaft bearing cir-clip has popped out or the lip on the housing failed allowing the bearing to move to the right, this would cause it to jump out of 3rd.
Well I’ve pulled the outer case off and a quick look shows that one of the springs in the spring box? Looks to be buckled. The tin cover plate has a bend in it where the spring moves so it looks like it’s catching. I wonder if this would be enough to do it, before I dig deeper?

The spring case assembly returns the shift mechanism to select the next gear up or down........If one of the springs is weak it could create a scenario where it does not shift fully to the next gear.........whilst you have the outer cover off, grab the mainshaft nut gently with some vice grips and see if the shaft moves in/out, and have a close look in to where the bearing is that i mentioned to see if the circlip is in place holding the bearing in the housing........All of the springs and parts for the shift mechanism are readily available.
Good shot , But we don't have that Speedo drive !.
Cheers, Bill.
