Default Car keeps poping out of gear

Well just as it say my car keeps poping out of 5th gear. To my understanding its not really a common problem. Does anyone know what usually causes this?, and what king of repair imma need. I know my clutch or pressure plate is bad, and i already have a new clutch awaiting a flywheel before install.

make sure those axles are correct for your aplication.. esspecially in hybrid swaps.

you'll be surprised if a axle is too short, or the retainer ring is worn or loose, it will pop out of gears, for me.. it did it in 3rd, and 5th.. only those 2 gears.

this means, the axle isn't in all the way, and the oil seal isn't against the inner axle hub..

and that means your axle isn't in all the way.. this WILL cause gears to pop out, usually 5th.

remove the axle, and check the oil seal in the tranny, AND more importantly the retainer ring on the inner axle.

If it pops out while in gear, it's definitely the fluid.
