My 1956 bug pops out of 3rd gear when I back off the accelerator. I can hold it in third and back off the gas and it's fine as long as I hold the shift or reapply pressure to the gas pedal. Is there a possibility the problem might be in the shift linkage?

It could be a broken transmission mount, but often it's a worn out transmission that needs rebuilt or replaced.
