5th gear poping is usually from heavy wear.

Ive bought 3 cars now that have needed 5th gear replaced - i.e reco box.

On some vehicles 5th gear can be accessed in the vehicle... no idea if this is possible in yours.

Both my cruisers did it. Either fix it ($$$) or get used to it. Just don't use 5th when decelerating, which is when it seems to pop out the most. Just drop it back to 4th to slow down or coast downhill instead.
Don't take life too seriously...it isn't permanent.

if you keep using it it will eventually stop working in 5th at all. i.e pop out immediately.

but as said it wont effect the rest of the box as such so you can run in 4th for as long as you need to until you swap it or fix it.

Mine did it, had the box rebuilt, later boxes had upgraded parts to help lessen the issue. Mine was fitted with the upgraded "locking dog assembly" Not sure what it is exactly but it has been fine since.

Remove the Detent spring for 5th gear and strech it slightly. It may make it less prone to happening but is not a repair.
