I have been driving down the Interstate for about 3 hours now and out of nowhere the tibs started pushing out my fifth gear. So I thought "Ill drive it in 4th for afew and maybe the 5th will work?" Nope no luck! What the hell is up with my car!?
you can hold it in but if you don't it slips out of gear

B/S! Its only fifth gear no reason for a new clutch. maybe if it was slipping out of all the gears but its not, its just 5th and the car PUSHES it out.

im unsure of what is causing your tranny to be pushing your 5th gear out ....or poping it out of gear. i know that i have been warned that if a car is doing this, when u are looking to buy a car then the clutch is indeed going out. if u are still stuck on the side of the road hold it in and get it to a safe place.
its not like your car is overheating or you ran your car without oil it still runs fine when u hold it in so get to where your goin (its christmas) and get it looked at when u can.

the 32mm nut on the 5th gear syncro has come loose...what you describe is what happen to me 4 weeks ago... all you have to do is pull off that end part of the tranny... then with a NEW nut toque it down to specs and then lock it the is a U notch on the main input shaft it self you get a flat blade screwdriver and and make a notch on it " look at you old nut you will know what i am talking about" the top off tranny oil... i got one question does it make a grinding sound when you put it in gear? and then pop out of gear when you let off the clutch.. if so then that is your problem
the other is you have striped the gear...
