Default My fifth gear pops out by itself!!! NEED HELP!!!

Last nite i was driving home and i was in the freeway doing about 60-65 mph... then all of a sudden the gear came down to almost neutral without anyone touching it... well.. i tought it was weird so i poped it back to 5th gear and kept on going ... two minutes later the same thing happened... so i had to drive home holding to the shifter so it wouldnt go back to neutral... what can be wrong??? gears 1-4 seem to be fine... Well.. i should let you guys know that i changed the tranny and the cluth yesterday... one thing i didnt do was check the transmission oil... which im gonna do right now.. but what could be wrong???? any help will be appreciated...
thanks

Well.. i think its low in fluid because i used that tranny 6 months earlier but i took it out because i had a 90-91 tranny.... so i know the synchro's are good.. so im gonna go check the fluid.. im almost sure that there is almost no fluid because it was sitting outside my house for 6 months and i didnt add any fluid when i put it back in the car......
thanks
