Ajey, really need to hone those communication skills, but If I am correct on interrupting you question I would say that if the car is jumping out of third gear, then the transmission is not far from being toast depending on how you drive it. Wild guess, but you may get 30k out of it skipping 3rd or holding it in place. Head gasket, buying a used car here and you don't really know how the car has been treated, but if it hasn't been over heated and well maintained the you are usually good up 200k or more. If the oil has water in it (light brown milky color) then the head gasket (at least) is also toast.
