    Rather difficult question to answer

    bike does have a problem with third gear, at low revs it tends to jump out, i just miss 3rd altogether and go from 2nd to 4th, its fine shifting down though.

    I know its almost impossible to give the 100% right answer with out more info/looking at the bike. But whats likely to cause this, Does it sound expensive to fix or cheap if you do it yourself?

    Make and model of bike would be helpful, or you could take to an outdated black mechanic specialising in outdated black bikes.

    Dogs are worn or a shift fork is bent. I'm going with the dogs being worn.

    Fixing it yourself depends on how mechanically minded you are. Have you ever taken a bike gearbox to bits before?
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    Protip: mechanics LOVE to get boxes full of random bits from customers and the instruction "Oh I know whats wrong all you need to do is blah" Cost you a hundy and a box of beers tops.

    this would be my diagnosis based on what youve said too. Id lean towards dogs more than a bent fork though.

    its likely to be the dogs if its jumping out of gear.
    Alternatively a maladjusted gear change lever can cause this, if the fulcrum is not correct for your foot it often doesn't slot in correctly.
    Had it on a few bikes, and with a twiddle of the 10mm nut its all good again!
