If you didn't have this trouble before the u-joint issue, then I think a look inside that trans is in order...
In 50 years of messing with '833s, I've only found two causes for "popping out of gear"...
> Shift linkage maladjusted so the slider isn't 100% engaged
> Worn dog teeth on the speed gear (in your case, the main drive pinion). You have to look carefully, kind of a tapered or diagonal wear pattern.
Hard to imagine, though, how a bad u-joint could cause either of these defects. I'm thinking -- long shot -- bent / twisted mainshaft?

It was a rather violent failure. I kinda felt like I was in a rock polisher (except for the tumbling over and over part).

My vote is for worn dogs on the high gear / main drive. My GTS is a 4 speed car and my 2nd gear pops out sometimes on deceleration. I know it's worn, but the car hasn't gone 10 miles since 1993....... Not high on my priority list to fix at this time  I run a 4 speed in the Cuda, but it's a Jerico, an 833 wouldn't live in that thing. -Dave
PLEASE Pray for our brothers and sisters in harms way. If you are the owner of a GTS us at the GTS Registry www.gtsregistry.com
