Well, in a pinch, lots of people use a punch or dull chisel and hammer to whack it tight again. I think it usually needs to be looser for you to have problems, but it's been a while, so I don't remember. if it still does it when tight, then it's tranny rebuild time. Don't keep driving it as some parts are no longer available(layshaft) and the more you drive, the more damage will end up being done. Since you have a Ser III, it could just be worn synchros, but the symptoms point to the nut.
