51 manual 3 speed issue

Well I am getting my 51 200 with 3 speed trans sorted out and ready for a drive. I went through the brakes and am now confident that she will stop. Also my hat is off to the fellow who figured out that you could install the brake fluid tank on the firewall. Old cars are a lesson in history of design. Anyway two issues. Are the first gear non syncro, or is mine worn? Trans shifts good, and drives fine, but when I am off the gas going down a grade in second it jumps out of gear. Is there an external adjustment to stop this? I have replaced the tranny 90 weight gear oil already.
