Would that be a common problem for our transmissions?I'd be willing to bet that the nut on the end of the shaft that holds 5th gear on has came loose. Does it shift in all gears fine, and does the shifter linkage still feel tight.

maybe syncors? my first gear does it. still not sure what the cause is though
When you have it in 5th and try to push it out of gear without pressing the clutch, what do you feel? does it just slip out? If you feel alot of vibration compared to the other gears, or it in deed just slips out, it may be a bad syncro in the transmission. Its always a guessing game till you have it apart, however these are the symptoms i had with my cars in the past that concluded a bad syncro.
I want to make this clear. A syncro, or blocking ring will NEVER cause a transmission to pop out of gear. It has nothing to do with holding it in gear. It would be awesome if people would quit saying that thread after thread after thread. The job of the syncro is to synchronize the gear to the speed of the shaft when you shift so that it doesn't grind. It does nothing more, nothing less. If you are popping out of gear than you have either a clearance problem with the bearings, a worn out slider, worn out splines on the gear, or damaged keys in the hub.[DOUBLEPOST=1411201866][/DOUBLEPOST]
First gear popping out in these transmissions is real common. Almost every single time it is caused by the bellhousing side bearing on the intermediate shaft.[DOUBLEPOST=1411201918][/DOUBLEPOST]
A bad syncro will do nothing but cause the gear to grind while shifting.
