Depends take it to a shop see how much they'd charge to fix that gear, if they have to do the whole assembly you could possibly screwed and if it does come down to that id just get a new tranny possibly a b16 with lsd

If i get a new tranny the 1 I have is a j1 cable tranny and the previos owner converted it from hydro to cable but they didnt use a conversion kit, would I b able to put a hydro tranny with any problems cause I have a slave cylinder, and would the same tranny mount that I have work or would i have to get a hydro tranny mount?

ima check the fluid cause I was told if its low it will pop out of gear anyways, is that true?

POE

had it happen to me, it was very very low on fluid and kept popping out of fifth gear, im lucking i didnt seaze up my tranny, now i just have a noisy imput shaft bearing in 4th gear, but could have been worse, i woudnt drive around on it, until i check the fluid, Plus is so simple to do...

also check your axles and make sure there in all the way.. my sisters gsr her fifth pops out and i looked at it and pused the axle in and it fixed it but they can come out just the smallest amount... i dont no y only fifth poped out but thats how we fixed it

how do you check the transmision fluid on a manual tranny?

TGO-MD

There are 2 plugs on the tranny. The drain plug and the fill plug. The fill plug obviously sits higher up on the tranny.

When you remove the fill plug, the tranny fluid should be level with the opening. Shine a light into there (bit tricky if you don't have a small flash light) and look for the fluid. In addition, you can put a small screwdriver (gently) in the hole and use it as a dip stick of sorts. If you angle the screwdriver down, you should be getting tranny fluid on the screwdriver. If not, you need to use your choice of tranny fluid to fill it up again.

Just looking through some other threads, this came up:
