Well, my car does the same thing in 4th....I looked at the shift cable bushing where it attaches to the tranny and there was a lot of extra play there... possibly enough play to not fully engage the gear...they make aftermarket replacement bushings which would be the easiest solution or replace the entire shift cable for a new one....a whole lot cheaper than replacing the tranny......this worked for this case...other cars that pop out of gear all of sudden might need a similar fix...
