Thanks for the clarification and documenting this awful process. Your problems are odd, a few are normal operation like #2, #6, & #7 (#7 patiently explained by Ultramaroon twice) but popping out of gear and abnormal noises (within reason) are certainly not.
Does the car have a short shifter in it? The TRD short shifter is known to be problematic and improper install can screw up shifting noticeably.
You'll have to be patient with the skepticism, I've never seen anyone claim to have an 86 that's popped out of gear and I've beat the hell out of mine without repercussion as have many others. Abnormal noises come and go, it's hard to tell what's going on based on text description alone.
Get that foreman and tech a case of beer when your car is healthy again, they're going the extra mile to get your car fixed even if we're all skeptical of what the hell is going on with your car.

No, it doesn't have a short shifter. The whole powertrain and transmission system is stock.
This foreman in Orange is super nice and helpful. He did take an extra mile to help me on this issue. He spent half an hour test driving with me to hear the noises that I was complaining about
